Sounds like a great idea, but your link won't work, can you post it again?
Hi Karen
I am going to call them and make a special request. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is still in shambles with 1000's of people still homeless from Hurricane Katrina. Besides peoples homes being destroyed most vegetation and trees are also wiped out especially in Bay St Louis and Waveland. There is hardly a living tree left for wildlife or flowers for butterflies and hummers. I am going to ask if they will include the Nature Conservacy and Audubon Society of South Mississippi in their contest. If they do I ask that all of you help support us in rebuilding for the wildlife here. Thanks to so many people here at Daves Garden through gifts of plants and even Elyearcrazy came from Alabama and spent 2 full days planting for me so my wildlife habitat has been re-established. It is not complete but enough that I have had great success with the butterflies and bird nesting. I will let you know what they have to say, Thank you all
well just talked to them and they can't add any new ones for this contest but will pass the info along so maybe we will be added for the next years. Please think of us next year if they do because we will still need the help for years to come
Donna, that is just a wonderful idea. Please keep us posted. Karen
