Win a $1000 gift certificate for your school garden program from Crop Production Services Hilo, Hawaii’s largest supplier of agriculture products. The winner of this year’s design contest will be awarded the opportunity to preview their design from the air on a trip for two via Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
