Cirencester Front Garden Festival 2016

Celebrating the Front Gardens of Cirencester

It’s not too late to enter the Cirencester Front Garden Festival.

 If you’re undecided about getting involved in the Front Garden Festival you might find the information below will help to persuade you. An interesting and lovingly crafted horticultural display can be your pride and joy when it bursts into life during late spring/early summer. With the Front Garden Festival you have the opportunity and incentive to really go to town on your efforts this year. Some late-spring sunshine and an abundance of blooms is all it takes to lift the spirit and there is also the added incentive of £300 in prizes, details below.

Joining in the festival could not be easier, here is all the information you’ll need to help you make the most of this joyous event.

Who can join in the Front Garden Festival?

Straight gardening!

Anyone can enter. This Festival is for you if you have a public facing garden or access to a publicly visible plot that you think needs improving or if you have a shop window that can display a planting scheme, anywhere that can be made attractive equally for you and passers-by. You will not need to allow public access to your garden or plot; the Front Garden Festival is for displays that can be readily seen by passers-by and don’t forget that even the smallest of plots is welcome to join in.

How do I get involved in the Front Garden Festival?

Getting involved couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is request a Front Garden Festival sign and place it where it can be seen by passers-by. 

Who do I contact for my Front Garden Festival sign?

Simply send your name and address and details of where your horticultural display can be seen to Cirencester Scene, info@cirencester-scene.co.uk or ‘phone 01285 659673 or text 07875 071555.

Good on many levels.

When does the Festival run?

The festival will run throughout May, June and July 2016.

What are the prizes?

The three displays considered the best by the judging panel will each receive a £100 gift voucher for Dobbies Garden Centre.

We look forward to hearing from you soon and please don’t forget to send in photographs of your display, we’d love to see them and we’ll print as many of your pictures as we can.

The Front Garden Festival is sponsored by Cirencester Scene Magazine, Corinium Radio and GrassHoppers garden maintenance company.
