Ready, set, grow!

Gentoo’s annual gardening competition is back and open for applications.

Our annual gardening competition is back, and we are welcoming applications from green-fingered customers, schools and community groups.

Categories

Best garden

This category is open to all Gentoo customers. Judges will pay special attention to well-kept lawns, tidy borders, flowers, shrubs and hedges.

Best community or school garden

This category is open to all local community groups and organisations, and schools.

Prizes

With a £200 prize available for winning gardens, judges will be looking to recognise those who have pride in their home, neighbourhood, and community.

Judges will pay special attention to well-kept lawns, tidy borders, flowers, shrubs and hedges. Entries which incorporate environmental initiatives and display a benefit to a school, or the community will be given special consideration.

 

Important dates

Submit your application form by Friday 14 June 2024. You can use the below form or contact your Neighbourhood Coordinator to receive an application form in the post.

Judging will take place in July. Winners will be announced shortly after.

All entries are subject to permissions for work carried out to Gentoo gardens.
