2021 Photo Contest Winners

| General

By entering their photographs in our photo contest, photographers are helping Wild Ones further its mission. Wild Ones may use contest photos in Wild Ones publications, promotional materials, presentations, and on the Wild Ones websites and social media channels so that others may be inspired to learn about native plants and natural landscaping.  

First-place category winners were awarded a $50 prize. Second and third-place category winners received bragging rights. 

We were proud to have the 2021 Photo Contest judged by the following volunteers:

  • Ginny Levy – Head of Garden Club of America Horticulture Committee
  • Lori Purk – Missouri Master Naturalist
  • Tom Smarr – Executive Director of Jenkins Arboretum
  • Robert Smith – Photographer and Wild Ones Member
