Best on the Block: Enter and win!

Do you spend long hours outside, making your landscape beautiful? Do you know someone who does? Now you can be rewarded for all that hard work. Enter The Southerns contest, Best on the Block.

We will choose the Best on the Block from submitted photos, and each months winner will take home three prizes: $50 gift certificates from Plantscape in Herrin, Changing Seasons in Marion and Southside Lumber in Herrin. Winners will be featured the last Friday of July, August and September on the At Home page.

One more thing: The yard work must be done by you, not a professional landscaper or gardener.

Heres what to do:

1. Take a digital photo of what makes your yard or your friends yard a contender. It can feature flowers, flowering shrubs, overall landscaping, vegetable gardens, rock gardens or whatever makes your yard the Best on the Block.

2. Go to http://www.thesouthern.com/bestblock to enter your information and upload your photo.

A winner will be chosen near the end of the month by a panel at The Southern and will be featured in a story in the At Home section the last Friday of the month.

So, put the pruners down, grab your camera and enter today.
