In the garden, the signs of spring are subtle but significant. Snow recedes and brown turns to green as the weather warms and the daylight lengthens. Grab your camera and post a "spring awakenings" photo in this gallery by April 15 for a chance to win a prize.

Fine Gardening's staff members will choose a winner based on design appeal, creativity, and photo quality. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate from White Flower Farm. See the Official Contest Rules for details.

Looking for tips on posting photos in the gallery? Read more...

I think you should share info re: the winner and the winning photo on this site. Why not? I don't see why I should have to waste a stamp for this info! Posted: 7:32 am on June 18th
