Schultz Company and National Home Gardening Club are sponsoring the 2001 Grow Something Photo Contest , with 6 consumer grand prize trips for 2 to London, England. The trips will feature guided tours to several of the most beautiful gardens of London, highlighted by a Member s Day pass to the acclaimed Chelsea Flower Show. Runner up prizes consisting of Schultz garden product packages will also be awarded, and every entrant will receive a free sample packet of Schultz Expert Gardener Bloom Plus Plant Food. Entries will be judged by an independent panel of Master Gardeners from the University of Missouri.
Gardeners don t have to be expert photographers to win.
Nonetheless, a well-composed, clearly focused picture will help judges better determine the qualities of the entry. Choose the lighting conditions that show your subject at its best. Some gardens and lawns photograph better on cloudy days. Photographing houseplants may require a flash attachment or other artificial light. Use a tripod and cable release.
