Okotoks homes got to show off how their gardens matched up against the rest of the community Saturday.

The Big Rock Garden Tour made it's way through judging every single detail in one's yard... while raising money towards the Foothills County Hospice.

Taking home the top prize of best garden went to the Mario garden in Cimmaron Estates.

Colleen Mario says she along with her husband have put in a lot of time to make their garden special.

"My husband and I started out in 2009 when we built the house," she says. "We started by putting in our big trees, then it was a year planning and its evolved into this.

Of course the silver lining for the tour was raising money towards the Hospice.

Competitor Rosemary Berness says the competition and the charity has a huge place in her heart.

 "I had a friend die at the hospice about a year ago," she says. "Its now one of my favorite charities and I hope I can do everything possible to help them out."

The tour raised 1100 dollars towards the Hospice.
