Could you design this year’s Good Front Garden Awards?

This summer the Greater Bedminster Good Front Garden Awards will return. We’re now inviting entries for the design of this year's Award. Now in its 22ndst year, each summer volunteer judges give out thousands of awards across Ashton, Ashton Vale, Bedminster, Bower Ashton, Southville, Marksbury Road and Windmill Hill to say 'thank you' to those who's front gardens are making a green and pleasant contribution to the neighbourhood.

The design of the award should be on A4 size (it can be portrait or landscape). It should contain the words 'Good Garden Award 2026' and there should be a space to include the Boardwalk logo who are supporting the awards again this year. 

We’d would love to see a colourful award design that stands out in people's windows. Design submissions should be emailed to [email protected] by Thursday 30 April. The winner will be chosen by a public vote in May. The awards will be given out in June.
