Calling all vegetable growers, whether you have a large vegetable garden or just a few pots we invite you to enter our competition aimed at celebrating Selwyns' many keen gardeners, and to promote best practices in vegetable production.

The emphasis will be on participation rather than winning. All gardens’ achievements will be celebrated. Some prizes will be awarded to gardens of special merit. An awards gathering will be held in early March 2022. Vaccination passport required.

Only vegetable gardens will be assessed, not flower gardens, shrubs or fruit trees, unless these are integrated with the garden area.

Anyone can participate and there is no entry charge.

Judging with inspection visits will be arranged at the end of February (around 26th/27th), to interview the entrants and view their gardens.

Register to enter your vegetable garden, deadline for entries is Wednesday 23rd February.

If you would like to get in touch with us for more information give me a call on 021 074 3905 or email ruth.wood@xtra.co.nz
