We Have a Winner!

Last fall, we ran a contest in which we invited readers to submit photos of their indoor gardening ideas for possible inclusion in our book, Indoor Plant Décor: The Design Stylebook for Houseplants.  We received several entries, which made it clear to us that gardening in our homes is alive and well!  (Of course, we knew that!)

We saw some interesting plants, creative ideas, and above all, a passion for growing that isn't limited to a plot of earth in the backyard. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit photos and designs for our contest.

It's time for the book to be released - that will happen in just 10 days! - and we're happy to announce that Steve Asbell's driftwood design will be featured!

Steve Asbell is a gardener and artist who lives in Florida and is author of the popular blog The Rainforest Garden.  He has a large presence on Pinterest, with a phenomenal number of followers there (12,500+).

Steve marries his love of plants with his creative talents, designing container gardens, and will be the author of his own book, due out in 2014.

Congratulations, Steve, on your own book and for sharing your design with us for ours.  You'll be receiving a copy of Indoor Plant Décor soon!

ANNOUNCING: Indoor Plant Décor Contest!

We’ve been hard at work writing and photographing for Indoor Plant Décor and we decided to let you in on the fun. How would you like to have your original indoor plant display idea featured in our new book? We know there are creative gardeners out there that have beautiful and attractive (not to mention clever!) ideas for how indoor plants can be displayed.

For the next four weeks (until October 31, 2012), we will be accepting submissions of your creative ideas for possible inclusion in our new book. Put your thinking caps on, set up your display, photograph it, and send it to us, following the guidelines on the Contest Rules page. You may submit as many entries as you wish, but only one prize will be awarded per photographer if we happen to choose more than one entry from the same photographer as a winner.

What’s the prize, you ask? Up to three winning entries may be chosen and each winning photographer will receive one signed copy of our book, Indoor Plant Décor. As stated in the contest rules, the winners will be credited in the book for their published idea. 

Since we really have no idea what kind of submissions we’ll receive, we do reserve the right to not choose any of the submissions for inclusion in the book, but we just know you will come up with winners! We want to give away all three copies of the book, so even if none of the entries is used in the final copy of the book, we'll give away three copies of the book anyway. (In this case, they'll be randomly selected.)

Once again, here are the contest rules.

We know you've got some good stuff for us!
