Garden and Allotment Awards

Close up of Flower

Yes – that time again even though it’s not been the best of weather this Spring. Councillors will be shortlisting gardens in the town ready for the judge to look at them round about the second week in July. Don’t forget you can nominate a garden by giving details to the Clerk, but it must be visible to a person passing by outside the property.

Many people have beautiful back or enclosed garden which can’t be seen by the general public but into which a tremendous amount of effort is put- now these can be shown to everyone by entering our Virtual Garden Awards. Take a digital picture of a plant/feature and enter the competition online at our website.

Standards at the 2 allotment sites have improved so much over recent years that our judge has been having a very hard time deciding on 1 winner; therefore this year we are having a winner for each site! Make a note in your diary to come to the award ceremony in late July- everyone is welcome to join in, see the winners and enjoy refreshments and a chat.
