<h1><strong>1st, place winner: Nicole Gaudreau from Acton, Ontario</strong></h1>
<p>I complained about having a sore back last summer.  I was diagnosed with lower back arthritis this Spring.  Thankfully, I got the right treatment and I have no more pain.  However, my husband was proactive and started building those wonderful boxes for the garden.  We started with 4, then added 2 more.  Next summer, no more bending over in the garden.  We will have 10 to 12 boxes in the garden.  Everything grew very well, no pesticide or chemical products.</p>
<p><em>Nicole will get an Autographed Artwork</em> print Portrait drawn  by <strong>Linda Montgomery: My favorite Artist!</strong></p>

<h1><strong>3rd Place: </strong>Betty Ann Dalton- Nova Scotia</h1>
<p>I don&#8217;t garden in small spaces specifically because I have a small space&#8230; we live on an acre in rural Nova Scotia.  I have several neuromuscular problems which have limited my mobility significantly.  So, my husband helped me set up an herb garden on the corner of our very small deck.  While it&#8217;s compact, it holds all my cooking herbs plus mint and lemon balm for garden fresh tea.  Very accessible and easily tended, as the pots are setting on a metal plant stand with space for potting soil and tools at the bottom.<br />
He also build me two raised gardens from recycled wood products&#8230;. raised garden2 from a two sets of louvred bifold doors for the 6 ft sides and the ends from a discarded hollow core door. (we love to recycle)  Raised garden1 is from 2 sets of window shutter with plywood ends.  We have a flock of backyard chickens so compost is not difficult to find to fill the boxes.<br />
One of my deck herb garden and one of each of the raised gardens.  raised box 1 is zucchini and watermelon plants.  raised box 2 is my salad garden:2 varieties of lettuce, swiss chard, a basil bush and tomatoes.</p>
