I have wanted to do a side garden for a long time. Wish me luck. Besides all you out of towners, encourage your area garden shops to do the same. Have a great day and enjoy the sun.Wish me luck.
As usual; if you don't live
Comment by Anonymous, July 3, 2009 at 15:26As usual; if you don't live in the "big smoke" you can't participate! I understand the sponsors concern about having to travel for a "freebie" but it seems such a shame. There are so many enthusiastic gardeners around the province who would also enjoy trying to win this blessing. I'm from Vancouver Island; like Victorians, not so very far away. I was very interested until I saw the fateful "Lower Mainland " limitation. I hope that the article about this includes lots of info on plant choices ,planning ect. for those of us who fly by the seat of our pants.
It seems that the only
Comment by Anonymous, June 5, 2009 at 19:45It seems that the only gardeners that count are the ones in the Lower Mainland....I am in Prince Rupert where it seems that no contractor wants to even think of bringing their goods too.....it's a shame because we live in Beautiful British Columbia.....sigh...back to the moss and the deer!
The contest suppliers
Comment by Anonymous, June 2, 2009 at 16:51The contest suppliers operate in the Lower Mainland. Who's going to pay for their costs in providing the prize to a winner outside this area! Use common sense, readers!!

Victoria is know as the City
Comment by Anonymous, May 22, 2009 at 06:59Victoria is know as the City of Gardens. However, that is not to say that other cities in the province have beautiful gardens - canadian gardening magazines prove that. However, the competition should not be limited specifically to the lower mainland.
Wow, what a bunch of
Comment by Anonymous, May 22, 2009 at 06:29Wow, what a bunch of whiners. The tradespeople and suppliers are doing this for FREE to get more business in the lower Mainland, it is only marketing tool. Just remember you are not dealing with the CRIME and Noise that we put up with.
I too am also disappointed
Comment by Anonymous, May 21, 2009 at 09:42I too am also disappointed it is only available on the Lower Mainland. There is also a competition in GardenWise on page 18 to win a copy of Home Outside: Creating the Landscape You Love, which I can't find on your website.
I'm in Victoria and was also
Comment by Anonymous, May 20, 2009 at 17:04I'm in Victoria and was also first excited and then very disappointed that living in the "City of Gardens" didn't help me be eligible for this contest.
I live in Squamish which is
Comment by Anonymous, May 19, 2009 at 21:56I live in Squamish which is only 40 minutes from Vancouver...Abbotsford is farther are "WE" part of the Lower Mainland....whatever putting in a entry form anyways.

I also agree with everyone.
Comment by Anonymous, May 1, 2009 at 10:38I also agree with everyone. It should be available to everyone - not just those within driving distance of Surrey. I subscribe to your magazine and am disappointed that I cannot enter the contest.
I agree. I live in
Comment by Anonymous, April 28, 2009 at 12:33I agree. I live in Castlegar and think that the contests should be open and readily available to all subscribers - not fair!
After I read the Rules on
Comment by Lorraine, April 27, 2009 at 21:36After I read the Rules on this contest I went ... ahhh! Lower Mainland only :( It is a lovely looking patio, would look super in my backyard. There will be other sponsors that include the rest of British Columbia or better yet run a contest that [b]excludes[/b] the Lower Mainland and is only for the rest of us. :D I have every faith in the editors of GardenWise magazine!
We'll see what we can pull

Comment by Anonymous, April 24, 2009 at 08:41Can't we download the entry form and then mail it to their address in Surrey?
You could do that, but you
Comment by Hilary, April 24, 2009 at 09:45You could do that, but you wouldn't win... :) —Hilary Henegar, GardenWise Online editor
I agree ... what's the use
Comment by Anonymous, April 17, 2009 at 08:46I agree ... what's the use of a contest open only to Lower Mainlanders! I live on Vancouver Island - how about something for us over here? We're not on another planet you know!
Yes, I agree Anonymous from
Comment by Anonymous, April 10, 2009 at 06:56Yes, I agree Anonymous from Kelowna! I live on the Queen charlottes - I would practically kill to have something like this. Alas, back to the moss and the salal, sigh!!!!
I'd like to know what you're
Comment by Anonymous, March 31, 2009 at 15:48I'd like to know what you're recommending/intending for plants for the patio in the contest. Is there a list on your web somewhere? Thanks.
Come on...why advertise so
Comment by Anonymous, March 17, 2009 at 11:58Come on...why advertise so largely if it is restricted to lower mainland residents only?!! I am in Kelowna. I read the contest and got all excited...over nothing as it turns.
