Deadline Extended to June 30!
ELA’s third Spotlight on Natives Photo Contest is in full bloom, and we’re looking forward to viewing another incredible collection of your images. So that our photographers can include some of the later blooming spring natives, we’ve extended the deadline for submissions to June 30.
You can submit photos of native plants in garden settings (that may include some non-native species) or individual specimens. Entries will be accepted through June 30 at 5:00pm. First Prize Winners receive a one-year ELA Professional Membership ($100 value). Photographers receiving Honorable Recognition will earn $50 credit toward purchases at the ELA Bookstore. Winners will be announced in July. Find all the details here.

I helped a neighbor move her plants so that her fence could be repaired. I did all the digging, so it was social distancing at its best. Look at the drawing she gave me. It’s amazing! ~Georgia Harris.
