Creative Borders
The Spring Flower Show has championed practical and innovative gardening for over a century and will once again host the popular Creative Borders competition.
There are no restrictions on style or theme, allowing participants to fully express their vision and interpretation of garden design. The competition provides an exceptional opportunity to raise awareness of your work and engage directly with tens of thousands of visitors over the four-day event.
All successful applicants will receive:
- A grant of £200 to support project materials
- A pre-made raised timber bed, fully prepared and filled with topsoil for your design
- Unrivalled exposure to up to 40,000 visitors across the four-day event
- The chance to win the prestigious ‘Top Border’ award, with a £500 prize
This competition is an accessible and inspiring platform for designers, plantspeople, and contractors from across the North of England to showcase their creativity.
