Coordinator of the Garden Competition Sue Mowle said good growing conditions this year have resulted in a record number of entries in the competition.
“The judges were most impressed with the standard and congratulate everyone who entered,” Mrs Mowle said.
“It was pleasing to see entrants had worked hard to create beautiful, colourful gardens, which will bring pleasure to locals and visitors over the Lilac Time weekend – October 1 to 3.”
She said prizes and trophies for the 9 sections would be presented to the competition winners at 1pm on Monday October 3 in the Rotunda in Belmore Park.
In addition to the Zantis Jewellers Perpetual Trophy which is awarded to the Best Overall Garden, a “Judges Special Award” will be presented.
“This year the inaugural presentation of the Betty-Jane May Memorial Trophy will be made in honour of the late Mrs Betty-Jane May who contributed so much to gardening in Goulburn and the Southern Tablelands,” she said.
