The winning seed will then be distributed to all who voted so you can plant them in your garden or in a community garden in your neighborhood. You don't have to be an experienced gardener or even currently own a garden, you just have to have a desire to grow a garden and beautify your surroundings.
If you have a blog or website in the Chicagoland area consider writing about One Seed Chicago and tell your readers about who you voted for, why and suggest that they vote too and get free seeds for their garden. You can get a graphic like this one in this post and images for the sidebars of your blog here. If you don't have a blog or website you can share One Seed Chicago with you friends on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Voting closes April 1 2010. For more information visit www.OneSeedChicago.com and Grow Together.
