GARDENS FOR PLEASURE COMPETITION 2008

 [ Back to: Home page]


This is an annual competition organised by HIGHAM PARISH COUNCIL and judged on our behalf by MORTON GREY, retired local government horticultural expert.   There are no entry forms for Parishioners to complete as every front garden in the village is considered when the judges tour the Parish looking for gardens that give the passer-by the most visual pleasure. In reaching a final decision the judges award points for colour, choice of plants and cultivation, and the overall design of the garden.

This year marks the twenty-fourth anniversary of the competition.  The following prizewinners will receive their awards from the Chairman of Higham Parish Council, COUNCILLOR JENNIFER PAPADOPULOS, at a presentation just before the Parish Council Meeting on Monday, 8th September 2008.  Our hearty congratulations to them all.
