GREEN-FINGERED council tenants are invited to take part in Dudley's annual garden competition, which promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Many prizes are up for grabs ranging from £10 to £75. There is also a new category for tenants who have never entered the competition before.

And Dudley Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations (DFTRA) are putting up an award for the most creative garden.

Linda Sanders, director of Dudley's adult, community and housing services, said: The annual garden competition is a great opportunity for people to show off their skills and demonstrate the diversity of both plants and wildlife that are on offer in Dudley's gardens."

Judging will take place during July.

Application forms can be found at all housing offices or in the spring edition of tenants' magazine Home Affairs.

They are also available from the tenant participation team on 01384 815168 or by emailing participation@dudley.gov.uk.
