Runcorn & Widnes Weekly News Garden Competition 2008

Cheshire's Year of the Gardens

The Weekly News's parent company, Trinity Mirror Cheshire, is official sponsor of Cheshire’s Year of Gardens 08.

And to mark the fact, we are running our Beautiful Gardens Competition.

There are two categories people have been able to enter – Large Gardens (detached houses) and Small Gardens (flats, terraces and semis).

Readers will be able to vote to narrow the entries down to a shortlist of three in each category.

Judges (the editor, a representative of the sponsor and one other garden expert) will visit the six shortlisted gardens to decide who wins which prize.

The prizes on offer are £75 of Complete Lawn products for the winners, £50 for second and £25 for third in each category.
