Garden Competition: And the winners are…

13 September 2016

Congratulations to all of the winners in, what was once again, a very hard fought competition showcasing some incredibly impressive gardens. In fact, the standard of entries was so high that our judges even had to introduce three new categories – Most Inspirational Garden, Best Horticultural Garden and a Community Improvement Award (and still ended up having to split some prizes!)

A huge thanks goes out to everyone who took part, as well as our two judges Stan Green (owner of The Plant Market and board member of the Horticultural Trades Society in Fife) and John Bell (keen gardener and RSG Interim Chair) – both gentlemen did a fantastic job and their knowledge and expertise proved invaluable in judging the competition.

So, without further ado this year’s winners are…
