The Bermuda Parish Gardening Competition was initiated to encourage and celebrate our residents who have a garden within the community. Gardening improves food insecurity among individuals and families, promoting healthy living and offering consistent access to healthy foods.
The 2025 Bermuda Parish Garden Competition, “Let’s Grow Together”, was spearheaded by Chaplain Dr. Kevin JT Santucci, who facilitates the Grow Eat Save classes on how to grow your fruits and vegetables.
The competition, organised by the Department of Health and the Parks Department, was held between February 10th and May 19th.
The categories are Small Garden, Large Garden, Non-Traditional Garden, School Garden, and Community Garden.
There were 79 signed-up participants.
The 2025 Bermuda Parish Garden Competition Ceremony was held on June 19, 2025.
