2010 Mouse & Trowel Awards – Announcing This Year’s Categories!

Posted: March 3rd, 2010 | Author: Colleen | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , | No Comments »

We changed up the categories this year, adding a few new, more relevant awards and getting rid of some that just didn’t make sense anymore. We’re trying to showcase as wide a variety of blogs as possible, so I hope you find something here that excites you.

Nominations start on April 1 and end on April 30th, plenty of time to nominate your favorites. I’m announcing the categories now so that you can start thinking about who you want to nominate!

Without further ado, here are the 2010 Mouse & Trowel Awards categories:

General Categories:

  • Best Writing
  • Best Photography
  • Best Blog Design
  • Post of the Year
  • Best Garden Podcast
  • Garden Blog of the Year
  • Best New Garden Blog (blog in which the first post was published on or after 1/1/09)
  • Best Gardenblogger to Follow on Twitter

Niche Categories:

  • Best Urban Gardening Blog
  • Best Rural Gardening/Farming Blog
  • Best Indoor Gardening Blog
  • Best Garden Design Blog
  • Best Container Gardening Blog
  • Best Blog About Growing Food
  • Best Blog by a Company (This is where we recognize a company that’s doing a good job blogging. It could be a newspaper, magazine, garden product, or nursery.)

Something for everyone I think, and I’m hoping to discover lots of new blogs through your nominations! So, start thinking — nominations start in less than one month!

Please support our wonderful sponsors: Botanical Interests Seeds, Ethel Gloves, and Timber Press, as well as our awesome media sponsor, Shirley Bovshow’s Garden World Report!


Welcome to the 2010 Mouse & Trowel Awards!

Posted: February 11th, 2010 | Author: Colleen | Filed under: Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

The original garden blog awards are back to do what we do best: honor the very best in garden blogs. This year’s awards are bigger and better than ever, with more categories, easier ways to spread the word, and a simplified voting process.

One big change we’re making this year is that we are now accepting sponsorships for the Mousies. If you know of a garden-related organization that would be interested in sponsoring the awards (and earning plenty of love from the gardenblogging community!) please contact me at colleen {at} inthegardenonline.com .

I’ll be updating this page regularly with news about categories, a nomination timeline, and (hopefully!) news about our sponsors. You can also keep up with us on Twitter and Facebook.

Thank you, as always, for your support!
