Best Kept Garden 2013 winner

Scott Hartley from 2 Forest Way (pictured top) is this year’s winner of the Hills Amenity Society Shield, awarded annually for the best front garden in the area.

Committee members walked the Hills area back in the summer, identifying a number of worthy contenders for the shield. Local residents were also asked for their nominations via the Hills Amenity Society website.

The winner, chosen by the committee from all of the nominated gardens, is traditionally invited to receive the award at the society’s autumn lunch which this year is set to be held on Saturday 2 November. Also pictured are some of the other wonderful gardens in this year’s selection and praised by the judges.
