Housing Garden Competition

This page shares information on the Council Housings Garden Competition

2025 Garden Competition

To celebrate the tenants and leaseholders bringing a bit of life and colour to the community, in 2025 Housing are holding a Garden Competition.

The competition is sponsored by Matthews and Tannert (Opens in a New Window)

All Broxtowe Borough Council tenants and leaseholders can enter. If you don't have an allocated garden, we will consider crops in pots, and even houseplants on your windowsill. Please mention the competition to a green fingered neighbour who may be interested.
