Points will be allocated for: appearance from street, 15 points; display of flowers, 15 points; lawns, 15 points; hedges and shrubs, 15 points; vegetable garden, 25 points. The judging will take place in two parts. Initially all sections will be judged by a panel and the 12 best decided. These 12 will then be judged by an invited judge to determine the winner.
