lady bay open gardens ‘Garden in a Wheelbarrow Competition’

As part of the Open Gardens weekend we are inviting children & adults to create a garden in a wheelbarrow!!

Any barrow, large or small.

The theme is Recycle Repurpose Reuse so old leaking barrows can be given a new lease of life.

Wheelbarrows will be displayed in front gardens so that visitors can enjoy them as they stroll around the Open Gardens.

The competition will be sponsored by our local supplier John A Stephens who have generously offered to supply compost for the event.

Individual, group and family entries are all welcome.

Flowers, vegetables, fruit, whimsical, magical …. the choices are as wide as the imagination!

Last year’s Lady Bay Open Gardens was a huge success, thank you to all that supported the event.  Over 1,100 adults visited plus children with proceeds donated to the Lady Bay Community Fund.  In addition, garden hosts also raised over £1,300 for their chosen charities.

The volunteer committee met after the weekend for a post event meeting, and all felt the event was a resounding success. Visitors enjoyed meeting and chatting to gardeners over the two days, they also said that the variety of different spaces on show and the warm welcome made all the difference. The refreshments and entertainment were also enjoyed by all.

We would like to thank this year’s sponsors Rex Gooding, Moores' Nurseries and Garden Centre and John A Stephens for their support and to Nottinghamshire County Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council for their contributions towards printing costs and of course to all the homeowners who are taking part this year.
