It is almost time for another raffle drawing. It is about the kids, the staff of NGA, the winners, the non-winners, the sponsors, and the participation of hundreds.
I simply avoided the word loser, because honestly, there are NO losers. We all win. Winners keep the site running, winners join the group, winners share acorns, winners post informative items, winners make informative comments, winners post photographs, and winners take great pleasure in seeing everyone else win.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'll be real happy if I win something, but I'll be just as happy if I don't win. If you participate, you win!!! Thumbs up
I hope that each and every one of you win. I know that I have.

I have won twice so I can't complain but I do enjoy the video reveal for the names of the winners!
Just watching that video makes me feel like a winner.

I've not won anything, but love, love this facet of garden.org. The effort it took to round up sponsors, the generosity of the sponsors, the heartwarming video. All are appreciated by me and I will always participate! When looking for a new plant/gardening thingy, I always ck the sponsors sites first , good people deserve our support. Looking forward to the drawing! Tina
