Entry Form
GARDEN CLUB COMPETITION
We are pleased to invite all Garden Clubs, groups and individual gardeners to enter the Container Garden Competition
at Little Bentley Hall Waterways & Garden Show , near Colchester, Essex, CO7 8SD 4-6th June
Maximum pot size is one metre diameter (no exceptions). Any containers over the maximum will
not be judged (can be any shape and height).
Planting is to be opulent, but water saving is to be a priority (marks will be awarded for all water saving
measures including recycling the run-off water, evaporation measures ,and plants planted). Exotic plants can be
used, and the container can include plants that are not winter hardy. Any kind of hard feature can be used as
long as it doesn’t exceed 1m in width (height is no problem). Plants can be home grown, borrowed, bought or
hired.
Pots can have self contained water features (no running water or electricity will be available) Pots can be made up on site (access will be allowed to site 5 days before the show) or brought in and made up. Help will be given to place heavier pots.
The winning pot will be judged on its water efficiency, re-use of water, overall design and desirability.
Entries must be made by 15th May 2010 , and all containers must be delivered/ displayed at the show no later than 2pm on Friday 4th June 2010 . They may be delivered on Wednesday 2nd or Thursday 3rd June. There is
a £10 entry fee which will be treated as a donation to the Show Charities Army Benevolent Fund, local Church, Rotary Charities, CLA Charitable Trust and other charities.
