Beautiful Gardens Competition
The City of Rockingham is holding its annual Beautiful Gardens Competition with nominations being taken until Friday October 16. Each year, gardens throughout the community are judged to find the most loved and beautiful landscapes.
To do this, we receive nominations from local residents, business people, and school representatives who may nominate their own garden, a neighbour’s garden, a local business, commercial or industrial site or school ground according to the various categories.
Some wonderful prize kindly donated by local business and cash incentives for this year’s event are even better than before! Last year’s competition was a great success with the awards presented by Chris Ferreira from Great gardens.
So if you think your garden has what it takes, complete the entry form and post it to:
