Celebrating bloomin’ great gardens

Put down the gardening gloves, and listen up – it’s time to announce the winners of our 2025 Garden Awards!

We’ve had some really super entries this year making it a tough decision, but we think you’ll agree that the ones we’ve chosen have the wow-factor.

This year we had four categories: best in show, sustainable, drawn garden and collaborative. And we were blown away by the photos we received.

And to help us decide the worthy winners, 21 customers from our Your Voice Matters group joined us on the judging panel to go through the entries and pick their favourites. They were looking for creative flair with the design, community involvement, showstopping features and sustainable solutions.

“Honestly, it’s my pleasure to be included in this. It’s amazing for me on so many levels and to be valued and appreciated is something of an enigma, and I do hope that I will continue to help out going forward.” - Customer judge

The moment of glory, our county finalists!

Our finalists were presented with a pack of seeds (for next year’s garden), a hand painted plant pot, a £100 Love2Shop voucher and a Yorkshire Housing garden awards trophy for their triumph.

“Thank you for recognising my mother’s time and effort spent keeping her garden space nice. My mother has been diagnosed with dementia and enjoys her garden very much!” - Customer

And congratulations to our regional winners!

Our regional winners received a gardening bundle including a pack of seeds (for next year’s garden), a plant pot hand painted by some of our younger customers and a £25 Love2Shop voucher.

“I am so happy to get an award which recognises the time and effort it took to complete the task of creating a garden for Sherwood Court” - Regional winner

And a special thanks for everyone who entered, we loved taking a peek over the fence to see your slice of Yorkshire paradise. There’s always next year to take home the trophy!
