David Suzuki Digs My Garden Contest

In a bid to encourage more Canadians to grow their gardens without chemical pesticides, the David Suzuki Foundation has kicked off off its 2nd annual David Suzuki Digs My Garden contest – and this year, it features a garden gnome bearing a striking resemblance to a certain 72-year-old environmentalist. The Digs My Garden photo contest encourages gardeners to submit photos and stories about how and why they maintain their gardens 100% pesticide-free. Novice and non-gardeners can also sign-up to receive tips on how to grow luscious lawns and gardens ‘drug-free’. Winners will be selected within four categories, including: Outstanding Ornamentals, Luscious Lawns, Voluminous Vegetables, and Balcony Bliss.

David Suzuki's forthcoming book David Suzuki's Green Guide provides information on the benefits of organic agriculture as well as other recommended actions for individuals to be more green in the homes where we live, the way we travel, the food we eat, and the things we buy.
