Dover District in Bloom Competition

It’s that time again when all you budding gardeners can show your gardens and hanging baskets off with pride – and get a prize for doing it!

 

East Kent Housing has teamed up again with our sponsors Veolia Water to offer a range of prizes including vouchers and water butts.

 

Last year tenants who live in properties with communal gardens asked that there be a category for them to enter.  This year, for the first time, we have six categories for you to enter including best communal garden.

 

The categories are:                                                      

  1. 1. Best front garden                                           

2. Best back garden

3. Best original feature in a garden

4. Best vegetable patch

5. Best window box/hanging basket display (including balcony gardens)

6. Best Communal Garden.

 

There is a prize for each category and the judges will be looking for things like:

  • good overall gardening scheme
  • innovative ideas
  • use of environmental elements
  • well kept lawns.

 

Judges will visit your gardens in July and the winners will be invited to a prize ceremony at the Dover District Council Offices in Whitfield.
