C’mon all you green thumbs out there, don’t be late bloomers.

This year’s competition promises to be better than ever, with prizes totalling almost $5000.

The competition is open to all Campbelltown Local Government Area residents, schools and businesses. Entries close Monday, September 7.
Categories include Best New Garden, Most Unusual Garden, Best Sustainable Garden, Best Native Garden, Best Small/Medium Garden, Best Large Garden, Best Senior Citizen Garden, Best Backyard, Best Edible Garden, Best Commercial/Industrial Garden and Best Educational Garden.
There is also the Anne Haddock Best Cottage Garden category, which was introduced last year in memory of one of the competition’s most successful past entrants.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Lake, said the Campbelltown City Garden Competition acknowledged the importance of greenery and living colour, on our streets and in our backyards.
“The annual competition celebrates the passion and dedication of our gardeners, and recognises that gardens bring people and communities together.
