| Victory Garden Contest
Looks For Top Kid's Gardens |
| . |
| The Victory Garden
wants kids to get growing. That's why they've created the "Fast
Food From The Garden contest." The winner of the contest will have
their garden appear on another PBS show, ZOOM!
Imagine sharing your garden with kids all over the country! |
| . |
Some of the fastest, most delicious
food you can eat comes from the garden. Why not try creating your very
own vegetable garden and see?
How to enter? It's easy! The Victory
Garden would like to see pictures of your garden, and a journal that explains
how you put it together. Your journal can be created on a computer, or
on paper ... you can draw, you can write, you can include photographs...but
what you submit should include information on:
-
what you did to prepare for your garden
-
the crops you decided to grow and why
you chose them
-
how you're taking care of your garden
-
what did you do with what you grew?
The Victory Garden staff will select
finalists; winners will be selected by a panel of judges, which may include
the following persons:
-
Kip Anderson, The Victory Garden's head
gardener
-
Sharon Lovejoy, children's gardening
author and contributing editor to Country
Living Gardener Magazine
-
Karen Barss, Teacher and Educational
Outreach expert, WGBH Educational Foundation
-
Michael Leidig, RD, LDN, Children's
Hospital, Boston MA
We're going to pick two winners: one
individual, and one group. So if you belong to a gardening club or organization,
get together and enter.
This contest is open to all amateur
gardeners between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Gardens must be located within
the continental United States. You can download the entry form from
