Judging

Our judges will visit all the entries. You will be contacted by the Tenant Liaison Officer, Nicole Shephard Lewis, who will arrange the visit.

In early August we will be visiting the best garden, best hanging basket, tub or pot, and best communal garden. We will announce the winners shortly after.

For the tallest sunflower competition, you need to let us know you are entering, but you have until 23 August to measure your sunflower and send us the height. We will then come out and measure the highest 3 sunflowers to decide the winner.

Good luck!
