IT'S time for green-fingered gardeners to get digging in preparation for the Redditch Best Garden Competition.

This year, there are even more categories to enter, including best water garden, best recent makeover, against the odds and new to the competition, individual allotment.

Anyone is eligible to enter the competition if their garden is on the Redditch electoral register, whether council or private properties and they can enter either their back or front gardens.
