The winning hanging baskets from 2016Gardening Competition Results – Hanging Baskets

Today we are announcing the winner of the Hanging Baskets competition.
The winner is Louise Murray, Belfast
The runner up is Arthur & Eileen Walsh, Magherafelt
Highly commended certificates are awarded to;
Louise Lafferty, Derry~Londonderry, Marion Donnelly, Dungannon.
We had a great response to our Gardening Competition with over 20 entries to the four categories – Special Achievement, Most Original Feature, Best Hanging Basket and Best Overall Kept Garden.
We were very pleased to have the Head Gardener from Queen’s University Belfast, Paul Wallace, judging the competition for us this year. Paul was very impressed with the standard of the gardens and commented that it wasn’t an easy decision to pick winners!
We will be announcing the winner and highly commended for a different category each day this week.

On Friday we will feature pictures of some of the lovely gardens that took part in this year’s competition. Everyone who entered the competition has received a packet of seeds, kindly donated by Homebase in Derry~Londonderry.
No doubt our competition entrants will continue to use their green fingers and hopefully their efforts will inspire others to take up this (believe it or not!) therapeutic exercise.
