Whilst Autumn has only just begun, it’s a great opportunity to remind you that our Spring Garden Competition is running this year. If you are an avid outdoor gardener, tend to your indoor plants or just want to give gardening a go, this competition is a great opportunity to work on your green thumbs. Gardening is an amazing way to get in touch with nature but also has great benefits to mental and physical health. All types of gardens can be entered, from veggie to flower to indoor sanctuaries. Share photos of your garden with us to get the Spring Garden Competition
