This year’s competition was judged by the Town Mayor on Sunday 17 August.

The competition is something run by the Watton Society which no one knows they have entered, as the criteria is “Gardens that can be seen from the road with an excellent show of colour from flowers or shrubs in bloom” The Society committee members plus some other members are given an area of the town to look round and select properties that fit the criteria.

These are then given to our president the mayor to judge. This year there were 48 properties selected, and the mayor Gillian Turrant chose Caroline and Andrew Bailey of 2 Mill Road. She also selected 4 other properties as Commended.   These were 10 Hamilton Close, 6 Priory Road, 43 Priory Road, and 29 Saddlers Drive. The Town Council were also given a Commended for the excellent display of planters and hanging baskets around the town.

Thank  you to everybody who helped us with this competition this year.
