Calling All Gardeners: Topsy Turvy Photo Contest to Honor Best Plant of the Season

HAWTHORNE, N.Y., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Gardening season is in full swing and Allstar Products Group (www.allstarproductsgroup.com) has issued a call to gardeners across the nation to show off their lush, bountiful Topsy Turvy® plants.  By using innovative upside down growing technology, Topsy Turvy® planters make it easy for anyone to garden, and now the brand is on the hunt to locate the cream of the tomato, strawberry or hot pepper crop.  

"The Money Grows on Topsy Turvy® Contest" asks Topsy Turvy® gardeners to submit photos of their fully bloomed planters for the chance to win $500 and possibly be featured in a Topsy Turvy® television commercial.  But this contest is not reserved for only those with green thumbs.  Topsy Turvy® planters make gardening easy - even for those without the time or yard space needed for a typical in-ground garden.  

The Topsy Turvy® patented Grow Bag technology is the key to making gardening accessible for anyone - especially the growing population of urban and container gardeners.  Ample yard space is no longer a factor when growing fruits and vegetables at home.

"Topsy Turvy owners have been sharing their gardening successes and excitement with us since the product became available," said Bob Gaines, Director of Marketing for Allstar Products Group.  "We decided to have some fun with it and see what our gardeners - and Topsy Turvy - can do when put to the test."

To enter the contest, running through September 1, 2010, visit www.topsygardening.com to fill out the online entry form and upload your best Topsy Turvy® photo.  Entries will be judged using the following criteria: size of the plant, color of the plant, and a written entry describing why you love your Topsy Turvy® planter.

Topsy Turvy® planters are available to purchase at major retailers nationwide such as Bed Bath & Beyond, CVS, Home Depot, Target, Walgreens and Walmart.
