Announcing the 1st Annual Mouse & Trowel Awards

March 22, 2007


Colleen at In the Garden Online has come up with the brilliant and fun idea of hosting a garden-blogger awards program. Dubbing it the Mouse & Trowel Awards, she’s calling for nominations in thirteen categories:

    Blogs

Best writing in a garden blog
Best design of a garden blog
Best photography in a garden blog
Most innovation in the field of garden blogging
Best North American garden blog
Best International garden blog
Garden blogger you’d most like to have as a neighbor
Garden Blog of the Year

    Web Sites

Best informational web site
Best gardening forums
Best online source for plants or seeds
Best gardening magazine web site
Gardening Web Site of the Year

We all have our favorites, blogs we check every day or so, and bloggers we’ve developed relationships with. Now is our chance to show them some love. Colleen writes, “The top three blog/site nominees in each category will be the finalists. Finalists will be announced on Monday, April 15th. The final round of voting will determine the winner of each category. Voting for the final round will begin on April 15th and continue through Friday, May 11th. Winners will be announced on Sunday, May 13th.”
Thanks, Colleen, for coming up with this idea. You deserve an award for your creative initiative. Are you sure you want to declare yourself ineligible?

    Thanks, Pam 🙂 I don’t need to be eligible—I’ll get to have all the fun of seeing the nominations and votes come in, and getting to announce the winners. I love having a new project to work on, and I love even more getting some recognition for all of the garden bloggers out there who absolutely rock 🙂
    Thank you for spreading the word!
