Garden competition awards ceremony
Our full list of winners and runners up in the 2022 garden competition.
The 2023 garden competition for gardeners with the greenest fingers will re-open for nominations in early 2023. Gardeners across East Ayrshire are invited to enter the Council’s annual garden competition.
The competition is open to anyone living in East Ayrshire with a garden, no matter how big or small, which is maintained by themselves and not a professional gardener, and there are prizes and trophies up for grabs.
The judging will take place across three housing areas:
- Cumnock and Doon Valley
- Irvine Valley, Ballochmyle and Kilmarnock South
- Kilmarnock Central and North
A winner and runner up are selected in each of the following categories:
- Best Council garden
- Best private garden
- Best planters or hanging baskets
- Best vegetable garden
- Best newcomer
- Environmentally Friendly
- Special achievement award
- Commemorative award
- Overall winner
There are also two exciting categories for communities:
- Clean, green, vibrant street
- Clean, green, vibrant town or village
You can now nominate a street, town or village that has improved significantly and become a more vibrant place to live and visit.
