Got mine too! I'm sure I won't win, but it's fun. Sticking tongue out Wouldn't it be interesting if Dave could tell us what are our chances of winning, like the lottery?

Good luck everyone! We have some amazing vendors who participate in our monthly Not a Raffle Raffles and I see that we have a new vendor joining in this month! Welcome! Tulips.com (Roozengaarde)

I just took a little browse through the tulip.com website and now I have some real zone envy; I sure wish Tulips would grow in Florida, they come in so many beautiful shades of color. I fell in love with a couple of the double petaled varieties and oh my ... the ones with the fringed edges Lovey dubby


I've been a customer of 3 of this months participating vendors and I've won not a raffle gift certificates from a couple of them as well. They all offer quality products, great packing and shipping and an all around great customer service! So, a huge Thank You! to all of our vendors for giving us the opportunity to win prizes and become satisfied customers!

I've been very fortunate in winning a few of the not a raffle raffles over the years but I've decided to sit out for awhile. I'll spend some time off and on over the next few months, adding info and photos to the database, etc. so that I can earn more Acorn 's to stash away for the 2017 NARR's. Green Grin!

I do that too! It is so fun to see what the vendors have. What an amazingly great site to come to and dream of what can be added to the garden.

Maybe this will be my luck-changer! I've never had any luck, but this time I bought three since it's my third not-a-raffle-raffle. We shall see!

Thanks for the good luck wishes.
I usually hope to win acorns but plants/seeds/bulbs are lovely, too. Looking forward to "Raffle Boy" announcing my name. Crossing Fingers!
