Each year, garden centers across the country create outstanding displays of the almost limitless selection of perennials. Designed to delight and inspire customers with new introductions, colors and combinations, the displays also provide user-friendly information on all sorts of things from butterfly gardens, to shade, sun and water gardens and everything in between.

Did you know that all that hard work of designing, creating and maintaining your garden center's perennial display could be rewarded with a trip for two to The Netherlands, the highlight of which is a visit to Plantarium?

Entering the contest is as easy as writing a description of your display, taking eight great digital photos and submitting your entry to the Perennial Marketing Contest. In its fifth year, the contest — a collaboration between the European Community, Plant Publicity Holland and the Perennial Plant Association — is creating an ever increasing buzz in the industry.

Deadline for entries is October 1, 2007. Contest details and entry forms are downloadable right here on this site. It couldn't be easier.

This year, don't be shy. Ensure that your fabulous perennial display is among the entries, and, while you're at it, make sure your passport is up-to-date.
