Peterlee Garden Competition 2024

Calling all green fingered gardeners in Peterlee!!

It’s that time of year again where you can get out into the fresh air and prepare to showcase your beautiful gardens.

A lot of the Town’s residents clearly love their gardens as we received lots of amazing entries last year!

It was fantastic to see the passion and energy that everyone has put into their gardens, big or small, across all ages and categories.

If you have a garden, big or small – show it off to one and all!

With categories to suit a wide variety of gardens, there really is something for everyone! From themed gardens to hanging baskets, so don’t be shy, be proud and show off your garden.

FREE to enter (Peterlee residents only) + gift vouchers to be won.

Judging will take place on Wednesday 10th July, with an Awards Presentation on Thursday 18th July 2024.

Alternatively, you can call Janet or Laura on 0191 5862491 for any enquiries or for an entry form.
