Catcott’s gardeners were praised as “amazing” by the judges of the annual summer competition. The judges said they were “impressed by the overall standard of all the gardens and the wonderful enthusiasm of all of you who take part.” They said it was amazing for such a small village.
The judges added: “Judging was very difficult as many of the gardens were as good as each other but it is a competition so a choice had to be made.”
There will be a presentation evening for the winners in October.
