She said this year’s categories are Hanging Baskets, Eco Gardens & Vegetable Patches, and Front Gardens. 

"Every effort is appreciated, and you don’t need a large garden to enter.

"All entries must be visible from the front of the property, as judging will take place from the street."

She added that entries close on Friday, and judging will take place on Tuesday July 1 with Wellington Mayor Reg Snell.
