GARDENS FOR PLEASURE COMPETITION 2007

 [ 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 marked the twenty-third anniversary of the competition and the following prizewinners received their awards from the Vice-Chairman of Higham Parish Council, Cllr. Stuart Wright, at a presentation before the Parish Council Meeting held on Monday, 10th September 2007.  Our hearty congratulations to them all.
