Categories

There’s a category suitable for all sizes and types of garden. Even no garden at all.

  1. Best Hanging Basket/Container/Window Box
    We are looking for lots of colour and don’t forget the greenery.
  2. Best Vegetables or Fruits
    Let's peek inside your veg/fruit garden for some mouthwatering pickings.
  3. Best Arrangement of Hand Picked Flowers
    With a focus on seasonal blooms that’ll no doubt be bursting with wild flowers and vibrant colours.
  4. Kid’s Corner (Under 11’s)
    Veg animals, jam jar flower pots, cress egg boxes, mini beastie habitats with cereal boxes are just a few ideas.
  5. Best Upcycle Project
    Pallet herb boxes, tyre planters, metal trunks, bike basket & bike, wheelbarrows, old chairs, disused bird cages, old wellies... the list is endless.
  6. Tallest Sunflower
    This brilliant project has spread across the UK, so let's see if someone in the village has the tallest. We suggest you have some form of size reference in your image such as a tape measure, or a person standing beside the sunflower. We may need to contact entrants for details in order to judge fairly.
  7. Best Drawing or Painting
    Drawings and paintings of any gardening scenes.
  8. Best of Show
