Re: American Garden Awards

**"* K* E* <b*@xnet.com>**

Duane,

For the past twelve months or so, Nona Koivula (All American Selections) 
has been sending out notices (snail mail and email) regarding the 
American Garden Awards -- a sort of "Peoples Choice Awards" for 
flowers.  Seventeen national gardens, including Chicago Botanic Garden, 
Cantigny, New York Botanic Garden, etc. participated.    Visitors to the 
parks had the opportunity to whip out their cells while strolling 
through the park and vote for their favorite flower either via text 
message or dialing an 800 number.  Today she announced the winners -- 
the notice you are referring to.
