The children’s creative gardening category in our garden competition is open for any children under the age of 16 to enter. They could create fairy gardens, miniature gardens, anything at all! Take a look at these two entries from last year for inspiration.

New sustainability category

Sustainable garden is a new category this year, which also includes the wildlife category we’ve had in previous years. Sustainable gardening means to work with nature instead of against it. We’ll be looking for:

Your garden is a home for wildlife as well as your outdoor space
Giving food and shelter for wildlife
Leave some areas to grow wild
Save resources by making your own: collect water in water butts, make your own compost, mulch, and liquid fertiliser
You reduce waste and the use of plastic as much as you can.

Judging:

The judging will take place in the week commencing 9 June 2025. We will contact you in advance to arrange a suitable time to visit. This is what our judges are looking for:

Use of colour
Use of space/design
Variety and quality of plants
Overall impact.

These are all marked out of ten for each heading to give us a total score for each entry.

Winners will be announced on our customer Facebook group and our website at the end of June.

Prizes:

Everyone who enters will receive a £10 gardening voucher for taking part.

There will be winners in each category. They will each receive gardening vouchers and a certificate:

1st place - £100
2nd place - £50
3rd place - £25
