📣COMPETITION TIME📣
Loughrea Tidy Towns volunteers, aided enthusiastically by our dedicated residents, are doing a magnificent job of cleaning, weeding, planting and litter picking around the town. We want to encourage the town to keep the momentum going!
We are introducing a new initiative this year in the form of an ESTATES & STREETS COMPETITION . There will be a few categories based on numbers of houses in your estate or street, so there will be a place for everyone. So why not get together with a few residents and give it a go!
Contact us if you need help or advice. We will have prizes! Thanks to Galway County Council who have agreed to be sponsors.
To ensure independence, judges will not be local. They will be looking out for the following:
✨Neat and tidy landscaping with no evidence of spraying of commercial weedkiller (i.e. no brown edges)
✨Flower planting – baskets, pots, window boxes and flowerbeds
✨Care for biodiversity eg areas for wildflowers, hedgerows, native trees.
Prizes also for:
✨Best Window Box
✨Best Hanging Display
✨Best Young Person’s Garden and
✨Best Accessible Gardens
If you would like to enter your estate or street in the competition, email us ([email protected]) with the following:
Your name
Name of estate/street,
Number of houses (approx.)
Enter before 15th July
Judging will be at the end of August, so there is lots of time!
