I am thrilled to offer you an opportunity to win a $25 gift certificate from The Natural Gardener- a large, diverse and locally-owned nursery and all around cool place to hang out in Austin. And what timing, since fall is perfect for planting in Austin. It’s true – check it out! Leave a comment on this post (click to your left) and voila! You just entered. I’ll draw a name from entries here and announce the winner in one week, on October 27th.
Check out The Natural Gardener’s website for great information on gardening and landscaping in Austin, such as monthly “To Do Lists” and “Tips” specific to Central Texas – so perfect for newbie me.

And there’s more…..

A field trip to Natural Gardener is now on my daytimer! And because of your lovely pictures and honest blog, I’m inspired and am “editing” my garden. Thank you Cyndi! Elizabeth

I LOVE Natural Gardener. It’s definitely my favorite Austin-area nursery. Fingers crossed for a win…

I go to Natural Gardener not just to pick up things I can’t get elsewhere, but also to soak up the atmosphere.

The Natural Gardener is by far my most favorite nursery in Austin. I support them with my business every chance I get. I’d love to win their gift certificate. Thank you for posting about them!

Maybe you’re a seer, Jackie. : ) Glad you put your name in the hat!

Thanks for pointing out the Natural Gardener’s website. The monthly “to-do” list will be very helpful. Haven’t been to Natural Gardener yet … hope to visit sometime soon.

The Natural Gardener is RIGHT near my office, and I’ve yet to go. I’ve heard such great things!

I’m not a natural gardener myself, but visiting The Natural Gardener makes me wish I were! It’s got such a lovely vibe, I love just wandering around over there — yet I never leave empty-handed! Here’s hoping I win!!

I love the Natural Gardener! I’m planning a trip out there soon.

Allow plenty of time when you go to the Natural Gardener. It would be a sin to just dash in & dash out because there is so much to look at! I like to keep up with the great classes at the Natural Gardener, too.

I love the Natural Gardener – would shop there anytime!

I love this place! I always come home with a few bags of the bag it yourself compost. Such a deal! I’m crossing my fingers for the giveaway!

The Natural Gardener is my home away from home. I never miss an opportunity to stop in and see what’s new.
