Who can take part
The competition is open to all tenants and leaseholders of homes managed by Hackney Council.
All ages can take part in the competition, but anyone aged under 16 needs to have a parent or guardian’s permission.
How to take part
Submit entries of your gardens or green spaces by Monday 30 June 2025.
We will create a shortlist of entries. Our judges will then visit the successful residents’ green spaces between Monday 7 July and Saturday 18 July to make their final decision.
The judges will be looking for originality, design, impact, quality and sustainability.
You can take part in 3 categories:
- best front garden or balcony area
- best community garden or food growing project
- best young and green-fingered resident aged under 16
The winners will be announced in the summer.
