The Best Community Garden Awards, EVER.

Saturday is a big day for Garden to Table. It's our big finale. The finish line. The pinnacle, apex, summit of a season of growing.

It's Harvest Banquet time!

This is our first year for the official Harvest Banquet, and it's going to be a great one.

We have three categories of awards for the gardens. The Golden Spade of Sunshine (for the brightest, most cheerful face), The Golden Spade of Trellising (for those everyday engineers who create amazing structures that take their plants to new heights), and....

...drumroll please...

The Green Thumb Award! It's the most coveted award of all, for the overall best gardener.

The best part is that I won't decide who receives the prizes. The gardeners have known about the awards all season and they will be voting on them Saturday night.

I think I'm going to be more nervous about the results than they are. Maybe I should make myself a "Best Garden Coordinator Ever" certificate so I don't feel left out. Well, if we're being realistic it should be "Most Weirdly Energized Coordinator Ever", or "Biggest Dork in the Garden". But a girl can dream, right?
