Best Garden Competition - Winners 2006

Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Best Garden Competition. Gwen Stubley, Tenant Board
Member, and Dennis Rees, Chair of the Board, judged all the entries.

Gwen Stubley said “Judging the gardens and deciding on winners was very difficult this year because there were so many excellent entries. I think all of the tenants who entered this year deserve a lot of credit, the gardens were kept to a high standard even though the weather has been so hot.”

Next year’s competition will be run differently. There will be less categories but bigger prizes. We are in the process of consulting with various groups on the best way to run the competition next year and we will let you know the outcome in the next edition of Derby Homes News.
