Is your green space top of the plots?

Is your green space top of the plots?

YOU could give yourself an even greater reason to celebrate Cheshire’s 2008 Year of Gardens.

The Chronicle is providing an even bigger incentive to test out those green fingers as we launch our search to find the best gardens in the Chester area.

There are two categories in the competition: large gardens (detached houses) and small gardens (flats, terraces and semis).

All you have to do to enter is to send us a colour picture of your garden as well as your details.

You can post pictures to us or drop them off at our offices at Chronicle House, Commonhall Street, Chester.

If possible, we would prefer it if you could mail it to us in jpeg format – see the How to enter panel for details.

We will publish the pictures in The Chronicle between now and a closing date yet to be finalised in August and readers can vote for their favourites.

The readers will vote to narrow the entries down to a shortlist of three in each category.

Judges will then visit the six shortlisted gardens to decide who wins which prize.

First prize will be £150 of Gordale garden centre vouchers, £100 for second and £50 for third in each category.
