Garden competition

Each year, we team up with the Dover District Tenants' Consultative Group (DDTCG) to celebrate the creativity, passion and hard work of our community’s green‑fingered superstars in our annual garden competition.

The categories for the competition are:

  • Best front garden
  • Best back garden
  • Most improved garden
  • Best use of space

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

Stay tuned for details of the 2026 competition!
