Our annual Garden Show runs from June to August and we can't wait to see what you've been growing this year. We've certainly had plenty of rain to water our beds and planters!

Inspired by our green fingered Hospice gardener, Billy, we'd like to invite you to take part in our online home gardening competition running throughout June, July and August. We want people in our Hospice Community to show off their favourite floral creations and gardening know-how by sending us their pictures.

Taking part is easy and, there's a chance of winning a prize in one of 5 categories:

  • Wildlife (visitors to your garden)
  • Edibles (from your vegetable patch, your trees, planters or allotment)
  • Floral Display (any flower you are proud of - indoors, outdoors and window boxes)
  • Most Gorgeous Garden (big or small)
  • Best Garden Design (balcony, terrace, or patio space)

Simply email your photos to Claire at cbolt@stcolumbashospice.org.uk letting us know which category you are entering. The first 15 entries will receive a free pack of seeds! 

Photos can be of your whole garden, single or multiple flowers, fruit and vegetables, trees or even a window box!

Once the competition closes at the end of August, all entries will be posted on our website for everyone to enjoy.

So don’t delay, enter today! Closing date is 31 August 2021.

Entry is free but if you would like to make a donation please visit https://stcolumbashospice.org.uk/donate/

Once the competition closes, a guest judge will choose a winner from each category, and they will win a prize!
