Just purchased my tickets!

There are some new to me companies offering prizes in this raffle it is great so many participate. We appreciate all who offer prizes on NGA raffles!

Got my tickets!!

got my tickets too! FUN FUN FUN!

What a spectacular list of donations for the NARR!

THANK YOU to all of the generous vendors. I love seeing vendors that keep coming back with donations time and time again (Santa Rosa Nursery, Brushwood Nursery, Garden Perennials, Perfect Plants, Hollingsworth Peonies, Mary's Garden Patch, and Victory seeds.....I'm talking about all of you!) What dedication and generosity!

...and I noticed a few new names (to me): Green Mountain Hosta, EasyDigging.com, and Mountain Crest Gardens that look like they are offering some great prizes, too!

And @bxncbx ....that is so generous of you to offer up some daylilies!

You guys are what makes the NARR go around. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just can't get over how many wonderful options there are for this NARR!

I'm putting all of my remaining acorns toward this--I managed 4 tickets, LoL!--and crossing my fingers like crazy, LoL!

I'll have to figure out how to get more acorns now. The only things blooming in my yard right now are things I don't know the cultivar names of. :-/ ....daylilies are a long way away from blooming here and my irises don't seem to want to bloom at all this year. Don't they know I need pictures for acorns? Goofy irises!

excited for another raffle! luckily i had 2 remaining nuts from the last drawing and i have a bunch of new plants popping up to take more pics of! Would like to win a raffle so i can invest in some Florida loving plants as my normal go to plants from NNY arent quite working down here

I got my tickets!!! to Dave all all the generous vendors and NGA members donating prizes. May we all be winners.

Wow! There are so many great prizes for the raffle! I can't wait to check out the websites for all these generous donors! I just purchased some tickets and am keeping my for another tempting raffle to dream about my choices.

Naw, that won't work. I don't do mail order for plants.

Another NARR! Let the fun begin! Thank you to Dave and all the vendors/members donating prizes. Bought my first tickets today.

First time buying NARR tickets, I'm so excited...

Looks like some really great prizes too!!!

Good luck to @Belovedhoneygirl! I've got my tickets too!
Deb, don't you ever want plants you can't find in person? I have that happen all the time, so I'm a mail order queen.

Well what a surprise. Haven't been online much so I'm just seeing that the May NARR is underway.
As @Deebie said: 'May we all be winners.'

For folks wondering , or wanting to get more acorns..here's a suggestion. Go to your local Botanical Garden,Garden Show or Plant Nursery and take photos to put in the Data Base here. I carry my phone and pull up the plants that I see in the Gardens and Nurseries ( on the NGA data base) to see if more photos are needed. Oftentimes theres one of the flower only. For each photo you can get an acorn. If it's the first photo ever, you get 2! If you've never added a photo to the data base, it's easy! If you haven't looked at the Data Base..it's on the Homepage about halfway down , right under the 'Popular Pages' banner.

Great idea for growing the database. Remember to snap a photo of the actual label first, then it is much easier to ID the particular plant. Take photos of the leaves only and the whole plant to give an idea of the growth pattern. Usually there are plenty of portraits of the bloom, although if you have a phone while at the nursery, it's easy enough to check the database. I still use a camera.

Karen, my current focus is on native plants and I have lots of local nurseries yet to explore. I'd much rather buy plants in person that wait for dubious mail orders to arrive. Plus I'm not too jazzed about the US-only concept. So, nah to the raffle for me.

What a wonderful selection! This is my first not a raffle-raffle I am participating in. Every time I visit this page I am inspired and dream of my garden! Thank you for the opportunity!!

I'm in! I didn't win anything in the last raffle, but I looked up one of the vendors and put in an order.

I'm in! This is my 3rd raffle, thanks to you all! Not a winner....yet! Good luck everybody!

This is my second raffle. I won acorns which Iam using for this raffle!!

So excited!!! I barely squeaked in for May. I need to pay more attention!!! 😀



So I got my tickets this morning!!

Cheers and good luck to everyone 🍀

Thank you to our sponsors!!!
