SARH Garden Competition launches today!

Today is officially the first day of spring, and Stafford and Rural Homes customers are being encouraged to get out into their gardens and green spaces and enjoy the good spell of weather we are having.

Entries open today for the 2019 SARH Garden Competition which is open to all SARH customers in communities across Stafford and surrounding areas.

There are prizes for all winners including; Young Gardener of the Year, Best Community Garden, encouraging wildlife and, new for 2019, best newcomer

In 2018 the standard of entries in the SARH Garden Competition was higher than ever, with top-class submissions in a range of categories covering the best use of space as well as the more traditional  category of best front and back gardens.

Karen Armitage, SARH Chief Executive, explained: “The Garden Awards have become one of the highlights of the SARH calendar. As well as shining a spotlight on some hidden garden gems, they offer an opportunity to recognise and support the efforts of customers who are doing fantastic work to improve the local environment and help make great places to live, work and grow.”

Judging takes place in July with the winners announced during a special Awards event on 8th August at SARH HQ when they’ll be presented with trophies and prizes.

Further information, including details on categories and how to enter can be found here.  The deadline for entries is July 12.
