What is The Great Drum Rake Off?
The Great Drum Rake Off is a free gardening competition! We invite our customers in the local area (AB postcodes) to submit photographs of their gardens to us. Submissions will be made through our website using a form that will become available during the entry period. Our Plant Experts will review entries and score the gardens independently, with the highest scoring gardens being taken through to the semi-final vote. The semi-final vote is done on our Facebook page, allowing our customers to vote on their favourite gardens through liking and sharing. The gardens with the highest interaction get through to the final, where our Plant Team will visit each garden and decide on the winners.
What Are The Requirements?
Your postcode must begin with AB to ensure entries are only in the local area, and photos of your garden must have been taken during the entry period. These will be used on our social media and website, we will ask your permission before posting. We have two garden categories:
| Category 1 | Gardens up to around 200 square meters*. For example, window planters up to a back garden in a suburb. |
|
|
|
| Category 2 | Gardens above 200 square meters* For example,large suburban and country gardens. |
* The garden's square meters guide you to understanding the different garden size categories; an exact measurement is not required.
