Garden Club hosts nature photography contest
The Lincoln Garden Club has launched a photo contest that promises to catch the eye of nature lovers and engage photography enthusiasts. Participants must live in Lincoln and may submit up to three pictures taken anywhere in the world by May 26. Entrants are expected to submit pictures in print (8” x 10”) and digital format. The pictures will be displayed at Pierce House on June 7 during the Lincoln Garden Club Champagne Reception from 5-7 p.m. During the reception, attendees will vote for their favorite pictures and elect one winner for each of the three categories: landscape, fauna and flora. Each winner will receive a $50 gift card and basket from Stonegate Gardens as well as an award certificate and ribbon.
“Our goal is to celebrate our love of Lincoln and nature,” says Daniela Caride, the Lincoln Garden Club member who came up with the idea. “We hope everyone will venture outside and take as many pictures as possible of flowers, forests, birds and farms and have fun seeing them while supporting a good cause.” The event will help the club finance a horticultural intern at the New England Wildflower Society who will design and install a native plant garden at Lincoln’s Station Park. Contest rules and entry forms are available on the Lincoln Garden Club website.
