Full of gratitude for being the first sector allowed back to work, LO members want to recognize those who never stopped: Our frontline workers.

So members are organizing garden makeovers for those heroes this fall. Please spread the word through your customers and communities — ask for nominations of frontline workers who deserve special recognition. Nominees have a chance to win the grand prize $25,000 garden makeover or one of nine valued at $5,000 — one in each of LO’s regional chapters.

Here are some tools to help your chapter or your company promote this great opportunity.
