Blind gardeners invited to take part in national competition

01 June 2009

This year’s awards will focus on gardeners who use their gardens to ‘grow to eat’ whether it be in a window box, container, garden or allotment. Thrive wants to know what food they like to grow and how they share the food they have grown. 

Entries are welcome from individual gardeners or groups where the majority of members have sight loss, no matter how big or small their gardens. They can be in any age group and have any level of experience.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

Blind Gardener of the Year (over 18)

Blind Gardener of the Year (under 18)

Blind Gardening Club or Group of the Year  

To register or obtain information in a choice of format, just email info@thrive.org.uk or telephone 0118 988 5688, or write to Blind Gardener of the Year, Thrive, National Office, Beech Hill, Reading RG7 2AT.
