Welcome to the home page of the 2010 Student Design Competition which has been expanded this year to include a range of new categories designed specifically to encourage students to develop a wider range of skills within their training as garden designers.

All competition categories and classes will be open to all Student Members of the SGD and there will be no limits on the number of entries from each college for any category as there has been in the past.
