Contests....

[auntiecindi]

Does anyone know of contests for houseplants. I have a plant I am very happy with how it's looking and would love for it to be judged.

I am sorry, I do not know of any contests for houseplants. You could try contacting your local gardening club, or try entering it in your state fair.

Barring that, if you want to post pictures of it, I am sure you would get some comments!!

Thank-you Mary that is a great idea!! How do I post a picture hmmmm?

I would imagine, local fairs might entertain that subject area. Or 4H clubs. Or some womens club--local. you'd have to do some digging. Or you can start your own.

TY Esther I will start looking around to see what I can find. I posted a photo of my favorite plant in Houseplant Success. I am new here so I hope I did it right, still learning how to navigate.. LOL

If you have facebook. there is a group called Houseplants you can join. If you have trouble finding it, let me know.

Yes Facebook is a great way to gather information and stay in touch.

I am on it daily. I get local events announcements that otherwise I would not find. My "friends" are more distant and near, as I belong to private cooking groups (learn a lot) and other garden groups for sharing stuff. The found some high school classmates, as I live far from where I grew up. its fun. I also get new releases. etc.

Where are you located and what are you growing. I wish I could have more of a vegetable garden and a hummingbird garden but it's a bit too much work and expense. I just retired a year ago I have the time but not the energy.

The initiator of this thread is talking about a houseplant. not a vegetable garden or hummingbird garden.
