2025 Best Gardens and Commercial Frontage Results
All the gardens and commercial properties in the Parish were judged by the Flower Show organisers back in July. It’s been a particularly difficult year for gardening, so very well done to those that won or got into the top tens below. Cups and shields were awarded at the Flower Show on 23rd August, but it’s not too late to go on a walk and see the gardens for yourself.
