Every week we put out a creative garden challenge for you to win some prizes! You're free to interpret the prompt however you like, and you can find it at the bottom of this post. Please join in! These challenges only continue if they are supported. It's up to EVERYONE to make this garden community great - if you were thinking about it, NOW is the time. Use it or lose it, as they say!
This Week's Winner
@sofs-su wrote an awesome futuristic story which started off talking about how AI helped remove garden pests from the soil. Sounds good right? But in this future:
Somehow I feel that the lime in this garden didn't smell as sharp as the ones I used to grow in my garden back then, nor do the roses smell as sweet. Fruits don't taste half as good as they did a couple of decades ago, sun ripened fruits had loads of flavor and taste. In fact I thought that all fruits tasted alike now. A garden without birds didn't feel like one at all, it felt like walking into a sterile lab.
Definitely not a garden of dreams and a fantastic warning about using tech to "improve" our lives.
Keep Scrolling for the Prompt - But Don't forget To Follow the Guidelines!
The trick is to write CREATIVELY and BE creative. For example:

- Write a creative non fiction post about a garden memory
- Draw, paint, sculpt, write a poem
- No more than 800 words

Rules
- Posts should contain only ONE image. This is a writing challenge not a photo challenge. Sometimes you might need more than one to tell your story though, so we can be flexible!
- Use #creativegarden as your first tag
- Refer back to this challenge at the END of your post
- Reblog this if you can
- Comment on other people's posts in the Hive Garden community.
- Check the COUNTDOWN timer on Peakd.com - no late entries
This is a great opportunity for those in the northern hemisphere who might be shutting down their gardens for winter, and still want to write on #gardening topics.
