Enter this year’s Competition

The Rotherham Council annual garden competition is back, rewarding Rotherham residents who make a real difference in their neighbourhoods by taking pride in their gardens.

This year, we have the usual favourites as well as new categories for the borough’s children and young people. Each of the adult category will have two winners, one Council and one non-Council tenant each winning £100 worth of high street vouchers with two runners up in each category each receiving a £50 high street voucher.

The children’s categories will have just one first place prize (£100 worth of high street vouchers) and one runner-up prize (a £50 high street voucher).

The competition welcomes entries from both council and non-council tenants meaning any Rotherham resident can apply.

  • Best garden – awarded to the most outstanding garden in the borough
  • Best pots, planters and hanging baskets – awarded to the creative use of pots and planters to brighten up any space.
  • Best wildlife or sustainable garden – awarded to gardens that provide sanctuaries to birds, insects, hedgehogs and other local wildlife.
  • Best young gardener (0 - 18 yrs) – awarded to the best container garden, bug hotel, potted plant or tallest sunflower grown by a young gardener.

To enter the competition simply upload a minimum of three photographs and a maximum of 10 photographs of your garden (one must feature the gardener), along with a few words about what your garden means to you to.
