Do you have green fingers? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

Waldridge Parish Council runs an annual Best Kept Garden competition, which is split into five categories:

Waldridge Park
Deneside View
Poppyfields
Front/Back Door Display
Overall Winner

During the year, our Councillors are on the lookout for gardens that stand out, whether they be particularly tidy, very colourful, or unusual. If you would like to Council to specifically include your garden in the judging, please contact the Parish Clerk. The deadline for entries is 1st September 2020, and winners will be invited to our annual Awards evening, where they will receive their certificate and a prize.
