Gardeners are showoffs—in the best sense of the word! We love to share our bounty, whether it's food or flower, with friends and family.

Now you can brag about your skills and win more than praise. How does an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas sound, where you'll get hands-on experience with the latest new gardening gear, including hand and power tools?

Two National Home Gardening Club members will be chosen to attend the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, which is held in early May. To enter the Top Tool Tester contest, visit www.gardeningclub.com and click on Contests. You'll need to upload photos of your yard and garden, and provide a brief description of your experience, skills, and passion for gardening. The deadline for entries is March 16.

The winning Top Tool Testers will be notified the third week of March.

Being a showoff has its rewards!
