With temperatures rising, Spring pushing into bloom, and things really starting to grow in most zones, many of you are - or are about to start - spending significant amounts of time in your lawns, gardens, and flower beds.
What better time than now to put your Garden Weasel gardening tools to use, and expand your garden tool collection while you are at it!
The catch? Well, you’ll need a video camera. And either a sense of humor, some gardening skills, or a combination of the two...
We can talk about our tools all day long (in fact, we LOVE to!) but when it comes down to it, nothing beats seeing our product working the soil. If you visit our
YouTube Channel, you’ll see what I mean. But we want to see what YOU, the Weasel-Faithful, can do with YOUR Garden Weasels!
Our “Direct The Weasel” Video contest will run from
April 23 through June 10, 2011. We will select winners based on two categories – “Instructional” and “humorous/anything goes” - and we’ll award each of our category winners our “Elite 8” collection of tools, listed below, to help you in your quest for the finest lawn, gardens, and flower beds on the block. Regardless of category, your video should feature at least one of the Garden Weasel products from the list below. We’re looking for the best “stories,” so be creative! The video must be at least :30 long an no longer than 7 minutes!
