Foxwood Residents Association has launched its annual garden competition today with over £100 to be given away in prizes..

The competition is open to all residents living in the Foxwood area of the city irrespective of whether they are owner occupiers or tenants.

This year the Association is looking for the best hanging basket, tub, window box or other container which can be seen from the footpath and which contributes colour to the area.

Following the Council’s decision not to organise a garden competition this year, this will be the only chance for residents to get involved and show off their gardening skills.

Entries can be made by e mail to foxwoodra@btinternet.com  detailing the address and residents can nominate their own or a neighbour’s garden.

The competition will be judged on Friday 15 July between 5pm and 8pm by Matt Reid who is the Nursery and Business Development Manager for Colour Your Garden.
