Following the success of last year’s competition, homes and community business livin has launched its annual search for the best gardens across its communities.
The categories in this year’s Blooming Marvellous competition are; Best Individual Garden, Best Yard/Patio and Best Community Garden.
Following the sad passing of Walter Bewley known to friends and family as Bob, and who won  the Best Individual Garden category in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and an Outstanding Achievement Award 2014, this year’s main award has been renamed the ‘Bob Bewley Best Individual Garden Award’ hoping others will be inspired to follow in his footsteps.
The Outstanding Achievement Award will be given to  entries that have the ‘wow’ factor, are environmentally friendly, have been maintained under difficult circumstances or simply have that something that catches the judges’ eye.
To celebrate and reward tenants who take pride in their garden, the winners of each category will receive £50 worth of garden centre vouchers. All entries must be submitted by Friday 3 July and judging will take place on 16 and 17 July with winners being announced later in July.
Entries can be submitted by posting photos online at livin.co.uk, via the ‘wearelivin’ Facebook page or by contacting a community coordinator.
