The annual Garden Competition is our tradition of recognizing Newport residents and business owners who nurture their gardens and flower containers throughout the city. When the Garden Competition is going on, Newport looks extra beautiful.

It’s open to anyone and everyone! The city is divided into three residential zones and includes awards to newcomers, small and large businesses, B&Bs, senior and family housing, and community. After the competition closes, a team goes around and photographs each entry. After that, another team goes around and judges each entry.
