HGTV Announces the Winner of the 2010 Green Home

Sandra Gilson from Scotia, N.Y., is the lucky winner of our eco-friendly cottage at The Pinehills in Plymouth, Mass.

Sandra, a former New York State Tax Department employee, and her husband, Kermit, a retired science and math teacher, entered the HGTV Green Home 2010 Giveaway every day. The couple will use the cash prize to cover healthcare expenses, and they look forward to entertaining neighbors, friends and family in their new home and plan to share their good fortune with others. They cited the observation tower, porch (reminds them of the “good old days”) and kitchen as their three favorite HGTV Green Home spaces.

The Gilsons are big gardeners, so I suspect their Pinehills neighbors will see them outside, planting big ol’ veggie and container gardens in the near future.

Congrats to Sandra and Kermit!

Over 6,000 visitors toured the 2010 HGTV Green Home at The Pinehills. Visitors made a $20 donation to The Pinehills Affordable Housing Charitable Trust Inc., which supports private and public efforts to create qualified, affordable housing in the town on Plymouth.
