Garden Competition

Dust off your dibblers and plant some pansies, the Garden Competition runs every summer.

Dover District Council run an annual Garden Competition in partnership with the Dover District Tenants' Consultative Group to celebrate the hard work of our most talented gardeners. 

The categories for the competition are:

• Front Garden - Open to all gardens, large and small
• Back Garden - Any size, anywhere!
• Most Improved - Have you mutual exchanged? Recently signed up? or have you been on a mission to tackle the weeds?
• Best Use of Space - Only got a small space to work with? Or do you have a big or unusual space? This is the perfect category to showcase your balcony, hanging baskets, allotment, greenhouse or however you've used the space you've got.

 When we visit for judging, a DDC Officer will visit and take a video of your garden. The video will then be shared with the DDTCG at their judging meeting at DDC Offices in Whitfield, and they will score your garden against their assessment criteria.
