The March Garden Journal Challenge!

On the 1st of every month, Hive Gardens get together and share their gardens. This month we have a new category, judged by @owasco - scroll down to see what it is! Don't forget to read the rules carefully, and remember this challenge does NOT come with a timer - it ends exactly seven days after it is posted, every month! You might be lucky to slide in late, but that's up to the discretion of the curator!

What to Share?

If your garden is under snow, water, or snails, it doesn't matter. You can still join in by:

sharing a friend's garden
writing a garden themed story
reflecting on what comes next on your gardening journey
writing about your favourite plant
writing a garden produce recipe

and countless other ways to support the Hive Garden by writing great content!

Prize Pool

Passionate Gardener Prize: 2 Hive

Awarded to someone who is clearly passionate about whatever style of gardening they choose. You could be posting about flowers or cactus, bonsai or vegetables - but your enthusiasm shines through the content you create and your engagement with community.

Awesome Presentation/Photos Prize: 2 Hive

Just a well presented garden post - fab formatting, beautiful photos, thoughtful post - the kind of post that makes us want to go and tidy our garden!

...And the new category is...

THE PREPPERS PRIZE!

This prize was concieved by @owasco who believes that food security starts in our backgardens. What do you do to be independent from supermarkets and big growers? What do you grow 'just in case' we have a food shortage, or even a medicine shortage? What do you grow that keeps you out of the supermarkets? And if you haven't got this far yet - what do you TRY to do, or what dreams do you have of 'preparing' for self sufficiency?

Above all, have fun - and happy gardening!
