TENANTS who toil in the soil are set to reap more than just the fruits of their labours.
Prizes in Harrogate Borough Council's Tenants' Garden Competition this year include family days out at a number of the district's attractions, meals at local restaurants, as well as flower show tickets and tools and seeds for the garden.
"This year's event is better than ever as we have opened the competition to tenants who live in homes managed by the council's partner housing associations," said the authority's tenant client assistant, Carol Gaiger.
"As well as the usual front and back gardens and the container category, we have included new classes for the largest pumpkin grown and for environmentally-friendly gardens.''
The closing date for entries is Wednesday, June 30, with judging pencilled in for the end of July. Entry forms are available by telephoning (01423) 556889.
