Garden of the Year Competition 2025

It’s that time of year again! The Cornwall Housing Garden of the Year Competition – send in your photos and inspire others to be creative with their outside spaces.

We would like to celebrate and recognise our tenants and leaseholders who take pride in their outside spaces, by hosting our annual Garden of the Year competition.

Whatever size or style of your garden, whether it be a balcony window box, patio, vegetable patch, or flowerbeds, everyone is invited to enter! We encourage children to get involved too, with lots of prizes and certificates to be won.

Categories for 2025 

  • Best overall garden
  • Best creative space
  • Best communal space
  • Tallest sunflower for under 10’s (parents to enter on their behalf)

To be in with a chance winning, you can:

Email: your details and photos to info@cornwallhousing.org.uk. Please mark the email for the attention of Julia Walsh.

Phone: 0300 1234 161 and ask for Julia so we can arrange for a photograph to be taken for you.

Social Media: Or send your photos and details in a private message to our Facebook page 

Make sure to take the photos at different times during the growing season to show your outside spaces at their best!

The closing date for all entries will be Friday 31st July 2025. Members from the Cornwall Housing Tenants’ Forum will judge all entries and award the prizes.

Good Luck!

 

Last year's Garden of the Year Competition (2024) 

We had a great response last year, with a mix of different types of gardens entering, including two communal areas. Members of our Tenants’ Forum looked through all the entries and awarded 1st, 2nd & 3rd places.  We visited these winners, to present them with a certificate and shopping voucher.
