Calling all budding gardeners. Now that ‘spring has sprung’, it’s time for gardeners to start perfecting their gardens for the Best Garden Competition 2011.
Sponsored by the Waikato District Council and the Raglan community board, the annual Best Garden Competition is back.
Keep your eyes open for entry forms, which are being delivered next week to residents in the Raglan and Whaingaroa ward areas.
There are plenty of categories to enter and prizes to be won. The council encourages as many residents as possible to take part.
This year’s categories include: Best street appearance; Best vegetable garden; Best new garden (1st and 2nd year gardens); Best established garden; Best ornamental garden; Best small garden; and Best children’s garden (school or home).
Entries for Raglan’s Best Garden Competition close on Friday 28 October, with judging taking place between 14-15 November.
