Join In the Botanical Garden’s Enjoy Nature Challenge
The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden is launching a Facebook photo challenge July 20-24 to encourage your family to get outside and enjoy the world of plants—even from your own yard and neighborhood!
The Challenge
Each day at 10 a.m. (CDT) the Botanical Garden will post a nature-inspired task on their Facebook page. To participate, share a photo completing that day’s task in the comments of the post. Each day, a winner will be randomly selected and announced the in the following day’s challenge post at 10 a.m. There will be a total of five challenges and five winners throughout the week (one for each day, Monday through Friday).
The Prize
Enjoy Nature Challenge participants will be eligible for a chance to win a free, one-year membership to the Botanical Garden. Current Botanical Garden members are also eligible to win, and they will instead have a chance to win a free one-year renewal for their current membership.
