Tenant Garden Competition
The Tenant Garden Competition is now closed, thank you to all our tenants that sent in their impressive gardens.
Get your gardening gloves on it's competition time. Do you spend most of your time in the garden or maybe your neighbour is a dab hand at pruning their petunias?
We are running a garden competition for our tenants, and we want to showcase the impressive gardening skills throughout the borough. Whether you want to nominate a neighbour or show off your hard work we want to see them all.
The competition is currently open to all Melton Borough Council tenants and leaseholders and will close on Friday 27 June at 5pm.
After the closing date, Melton in Bloom will judge and select the winners, who will be announced at the Your Voice Your Choice tenants meeting on Tuesday 12 August.
