2026 Tenant Garden Competition

The competition is open to its tenants and leaseholders, who are being urged to showcase their green-fingered skills in the garden. 
 
There are six categories to enter: 

• Best Communal or Shared Garden  
• Most Improved Garden  
• Best Eco Garden  
• Best Small Space  
• Best Allotment Space 
• Best Budding Gardener (18 or under) 

Executive Member for Housing, Cllr Michael Mullaney said: “Following the success of last year’s tenant garden competition, we are delighted to bring it back for 2026 and hope even more tenants and leaseholders will be inspired to take part. 

“The competition is a great way to celebrate the hard work, creativity and pride our tenants put into their gardens, whether that is a lawn, pots and hanging baskets, a shared communal space, an allotment or a small courtyard. 
 
“You don’t need a large space to get involved, and it is always inspiring to see what people can achieve in gardens of all shapes and sizes. With categories for everyone, including younger gardeners, I look forward to seeing this year’s entries.” 

Entries for the tenant garden competition need to be submitted by Wednesday, 30 June 2025.
