AWARD-winning Cheshire horticulturalist, Sue Beesley, is offering charities and community projects the opportunity to win her ‘Lunch Hour Garden’ currently being exhibited at the RHS Show at Tatton.

But organisations have just 24 hours to enter the competition, and the winner will be drawn tomorrow (Saturday, July 25).

The stunning garden which has just won a silver award at the show and has an estimated value of £10,000 is being showcased at The Tatton Flower Show until Sunday.

And now Sue, runner up in the BBC’s Gardener of the Decade competition, wants to give her beautifully crafted garden a second life by giving it to a local community project or charity in the hope that it will benefit others for years to come.

Titled ‘The Lunch Hour Garden’, it has been designed to encourage businesses and organisations, no matter how small their unit, to make the most of their outdoor land for respite.

Sue, said: “We decided to launch the search for a new home for the ‘Lunch Hour Garden’ as it seemed such a shame to just dispose of all the hard work and craftsmanship that has gone into the project.”

The competition is being run on Twitter http://twitter.com/suebeesley but people can also apply by emailing Sue at winagarden@lodgelane.co.uk .

The ‘Lunch Hour Garden’ will be broken down for transportation. The chosen organisation will win all the hard landscaping materials, many of the plants and a free design session with Sue and Isabelle to reconstruct the garden to fit their plot of land.
