Outdoor Garden Show
2025 BYC Summer Fair
Ends on August 24th, 2025
Summer is the perfect time to show off your garden! Do you grow heirloom tomatoes or bushels of cucumbers? What about sweet corn, green beans, carrots or zucchini? Do you have an herb garden or berry bushes? If you have fruit trees, let’s see them! Maybe your outdoor garden is all about flowers…lavender, roses, sunflowers or other beauties.
Let’s see what your hard work and green thumb produces!
The Outdoor Garden Show is a judged photo contest.
If entries warrant, we will split the contest into three categories - harvest, garden, & flower, with prizes for each category. For examples, see last year's winners below.
