At the Upchurch Horticultural Society Show to be held in the village hall on Saturday 1st September we will award the Barbara Webb Memorial Trophy donated by her father and first won in 1977 to the overall winner in this year’s competition plus awards to the category winners. Christine Madden, the sister of Barbara Webb, has accepted our invitation to present the trophy.
Gardens that could be seen at the front of a house were inspected on 21st July across the whole of the parish by a team of six judges. The judges short-listed very few gardens for final judging this year which reflected the uncertain weather conditions experienced during the first six months of the year.
The category winners to receive prizes at 3:30 pm are:-
Flowers 92 Chaffes Lane Mr and Mrs Tandy
Small Garden 11 Chaffes Terrace Mrs Packer
Mixed Flowers and Shrub 106 Oak Lane Mr and Mrs Denny
The Overall Winner of the Barbara Webb Trophy in 2012 has been judged to be Mr & Mrs Tandy of 92 Chaffes Lane - congratulations !
Gerry Lewin on behalf of the Best Kept Garden Committee
