Organisers of Gardening Scotland – the country’s national outdoor living show – are urging people across Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire to get their nominations in for this year’s Gardener of the Year Award.

This is the first year the award has been run and it is open to anyone with a passion for creating inspiring outdoor spaces, from novices to experts, young to old and amateurs to professionals.

The lucky winner will receive, amongst other prizes, £250 of Caulders Garden Centre vouchers to spend on transforming their own outdoor space.

Everyone can apply – either to put themselves forward or to nominate friends, colleagues or relatives.

Entries should be emailed to info@gardeningscotland.com before the deadline of May 1.
