- If you havent seen him (the Gnome) yet,
you will soon enough! The Gnome and Streetscape
Mississaugas expert judges have been visiting
various residential gardens all over the city in
search of that winning garden. Here is an inside
scoop of what the gnome and judges consider to be
a potential winning garden.
3
- Judges tend to favour more complex gardens
with a mix of evergreens, shrubs, perennials and
annuals, but there are always exceptions to every
rule. Judges also look for gardens that are
unique in some way that make it stand out from
the rest.
4
- As the judges come and visit your garden, you
can simply avoid losing points by taking a couple
of simple steps such as - Using artificial plant materials in the
garden or in planters. - Lack of maintenance such as uncut grass, no
weeding and deadheading, poor pruning techniques,
clutter or garbage left in the garden.
5
- You also have to keep in mind that there is
no such thing as a perfect garden because
gardening is always changing. To manage pets,
disease, and better environmental friendly
practices, chemical products used in the past are
no longer considered to be an option.
6
- More gardeners today are incorporating
environmental methods into their garden
maintenance e.g. leaving grass clippings on the
lawn leaving seedheads on plants as a wildlife
food source etc. In recognition of these issues,
Streetscape judges will be more lenient when
judging general maintenance, in the following
ways
7
- Gardens will not be penalised for spent
flowers, fruit or leaves on the ground, unless
they are diseased, as these are part of the
natural garden cycle. - So long as a lawn is generally healthy, some
lawn weeds are acceptable. Weeds in flower beds
are not.
8
- Spent flowers and seedheads may be left on
plants if they have a decorative quality or if
they provide a food source for wildlife. General
deadheading will still be required. - What we are expecting is that you use
judgement and common sense in maintaining your
garden, without necessarily striving for a
pristine appearance so Good luck and Good
Gardening!!
