Gardening Competition

Gardening Competition 2021

Each year we hold our Annual Seaton Valley Gardening Competition. The competition is a way for residents to share their gardens and floral displays with the community.

Because of Covid restrictions at the time of judging it was not possible to hold the competition in the way we would of liked.  However, the judges were still able to visit the gardens, business and allotments of those that had entered the competition.

The standard of all of the entries was so good and the judges had difficulty deciding what award would be given in each category.  After much discussions the certificate winners were decided.

The certificate winners in the individual classes are:
