Contests

We occasionally host our own contests but we also keep you posted on design entries for other organizations. If we know about it, you will know about it. We have our fingers in all the pies. We attend a lot of educational, social, design openings, etc. We keep ourselves involved, not only for the thrill of the hunt of great outdoor products, but also for ideas and information. If we attend a cool event, you can follow our every move on Twitter and on our Facebook page and get live updates like you were almost there yourself. We also scout for companies, designers, clients and of course, look for the best, newest and coolest stuff to present to you on “Live Outside” at all times.

Join us this Sunday for GROWDOWN! The Great Tucson Garden Design Challenge at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.

Four local landscape designers will go trowel to trowel in a three-day competition to transform an empty 15’ x 20’ plot at TBG into “the best” Tucson pocket garden. This year’s theme is Small Gardens, Big Ideas, and the emphasis will be on creating a small, inviting usable garden that would thrive under local desert conditions at a home with limited yard space.

The Live Outside Team will be present on the final day of the event on Sunday, March 24th to cover the judging and awards luncheon.The following week we will write blog features that highlight the designers, including photographs of the pocket garden competition.

The gardens will remain on display at Tucson Botanical Gardens through May 2013 (tentative, depending on upcoming construction projects).
