IS YOUR GARDEN A WINNER?

This is your last chance to enter the Daily Mail National Garden Competition, the country’s most prestigious horticultural contest. It doesn’t matter whether you have a balcony, a cottage garden or acres of land, you could win £2,000 and a specially commissioned plaque. So if you’re proud of your garden, don’t miss this opportunity to enter the most exciting garden competition of the year.

HOW TO ENTER

Send your entry to National Garden Competition, PO Box 485, Fleet GU51 9FF by Friday 22 June and include the following: between four and eight photographs of your garden (which cannot be returned); a plan of your garden; your name, address, contact phone numbers (including mobile phone) and email.

The judges will make a shortlist of the gardens they wish to visit, from which the four finalists will be decided. They will contact you if they wish to visit your garden. The judges’ visits will then take place between Wednesday 4 and Friday 6 July.

Four finalists will then be chosen and featured in Weekend magazine in late July.

After final judging in late July, the winner will be announced in Weekend magazine in August.

RULES

All amateur gardeners can enter. The gardener should have designed and principally built the garden themselves.

Entrants should maintain their own garden with no more than one part-time helper.

Any garden entered may be used for promotional purposes in conjunction with the competition.

Entrants must be 18 or over. Usual Daily Mail rules apply. Judges’ decision is final.
