SHOW GARDEN COMPETITION. 

We are very pleased to invite you to create a Show Garden at the West Woodhay House Garden Show which will take place from Friday evening 3rd June until Sunday 5th June 2011. 

To create a 6 mtr x 6 mtr Show Garden with the Theme 

‘A Footprint-Friendly Garden’ – Recycle, buy local and look pretty – for the bees and butterflies too! 

The plots within the showground will be available to you up to 4 weeks before the show for Landscaping.

The Gardens are to be built either on a Membrane or above ground on Sleepers .

The interpretation of the theme is up to each designer. We wish to keep the instructions to a minimum to give each entrant a free hand. 

The Gardens are to be judged by a team of leading garden design and horticulture experts.

 We will present all entrants £200 towards the cost of their Show Gardens (On completion of your Garden), and you may also contact Commercial Sponsors for help and assistance. 

Some General information and Housekeeping. 

Access to the site will be from 3rd May for you to start working on your Garden... 

The sizes of the plots are, 6 meters x 6 meters with viewing from one side only *. Please contact Mr Dyson to view the sites in advance of the show and let us know when you would like access to the site. The sites will be separated from the next garden by at least 1 mtr DEAD ZONE enabling you to build Fencing etc.

The Gardens must be completed by 10am on Friday 3rd June, when Judging will take place. 

If you need Power for Water Pumps etc please let Nigel know. 

*Post and ropes will keep the public I meter from the front of your Show Garden.

 The sites need to be cleared by Saturday 11th June after the show, and the site re-instated to its original condition.
