Renfrew Community Council launches Renfrew’s Best Garden Contest 2026
Renfrew Community Council has launched Renfrew’s Best Garden Contest 2026, a new community competition celebrating local pride, effort and creativity across the town.
The contest is open to any household or resident in the Renfrew Community Council area, with a £200 cash prize for the winner.
Entries are open until 5 July 2026, and residents are invited to submit a photo of their garden or growing space.
The competition is not limited to traditional gardens. Front gardens, back gardens, shared gardens, balconies, patios, yards, planters and window boxes are all welcome.
Callum Reid chairperson of Renfrew Community Council said:
“Renfrew’s Best Garden Contest is back for the first time in years, and we want it to feel like a real celebration of the town.
“This is about more than finding one nice garden. It is about recognising the people across Renfrew who take pride in where they live, brighten up their streets, look after shared spaces, and help make our community feel welcoming.
“You do not need a huge garden to take part. A front garden, a balcony, a planter, a window box or a shared space could all be part of this. If you have put time, care and effort into making something grow, we want to see it.
“We hope people across Renfrew get behind the contest, enter their own garden, encourage neighbours to take part, and help us make this the start of something that becomes a regular community tradition again.”
Residents can enter online by uploading two photos through the entry form.
For residents who cannot upload photos, cannot take photos themselves and do not have anyone who can help, Renfrew Community Council will offer an assisted entry by booking. Assisted entries must be arranged by emailing the main Community Council inbox.
After entries close, a small judging panel will shortlist four finalists. The winner will then be chosen by a vote of the full Renfrew Community Council membership.
