Hanging Basket and Container Competition

Date posted: Saturday 18th January 2025

Prior to 2020, the society held an Annual Garden, Allotment, Hanging Basket and Container Competition.

We are thinking of resurrecting the Container and Hanging Basket categories and wish to canvas the membership to see if this is something they would support.

First we need to gauge the level of potential interest from the membership for entering exhibits.

So, we need to know, would YOU enter this competition?

How the competition works

If you enter an exhibit the judges come to view your entry in situ and it will be assessed against clearly defined criteria. Photographs of the best entries are displayed in the Marquee at the Emsworth Show and the winners cups awarded on the day of the Show.

How to Express and Interest in Entering

If you think you would be interested in entering one of your baskets or containers, then please send an email to info@emshs.org.uk with your name and which category you would enter.

Don’t worry, expressing an interest in competing won’t land you with the job of running the competition!

Once we understand the appetite for entries we will reach out for volunteers to organize and run the competition. If this is something you might be interested in helping with please let us know.

We have the cups to be awarded and all the relevant paperwork, including the score sheets.
