Just before my visit last month to Arrowhead Alpines near Fowlerville, Michigan, Joseph Tychonievich, who is a friend of mine that now works for them, asked me if I'd be interested in hosting a giveaway. I love giveaways - entering them, hosting them, and winning them! So, of course I said yes, and here we are.
Arrowhead Alpines is known for their huge assortment of alpine plants and unusual perennials. That's what drew me to them several years ago, in a search for a certain plant. I love the unusual and they've got 'em.
Click on the photo to see a larger version of the miniature hypertufa garden I planted, using four plants given to me by Arrowhead Alpines. |
Draba hispanica throws up balls of yellow flowers above its clump of star- shaped foliage. |
Alpine plants, because of their native environment of thin, rocky soil at high altitudes, do well in containers, so they're giving away one Trough Garden Collection (Very Small). Included in this collection will be four small plants along with one small conifer or shrub appropriate for the winner's location.
To enter the giveaway:
~ leave a comment to this blog post telling your USDA Zone
AND
~ provide your contact information via the Rafflecopter form.
The giveaway will end at midnight, Sunday, March 25th. The winner will be contacted via e-mail as well as being posted on this site. Good luck!

WINNER!
Congratulations to Vickie, winner of the Trough Collection (Very Small). You have been sent an email requesting your shipping information so that Arrowhead Alpines can ship your plants to you! Thank you to all who entered. Stay tuned for more giveaways!
