On Saturday 31st May 2025 we held our first Garden Artist of the Year competition. 

12 local artists took part and we had a superb day.  The weather was kind to us, everyone found somewhere in the garden they would like to paint and off they went. 

They had four hours to complete their paintings before the judging. 

Our judges were Diana Shepherd, Angela Marie Nicholls and Pictoria Victoria

​

The work produced was of an excellent standard and the judges had a very hard task choosing the winner.  

​

Congratulations to everyone who took part.  The winner was Martin Wright and Alix Barker was highly commended.

​​Very grateful thanks to our sponsor Tobi Frames and to Ora Wooden Designs, Asda, Pictoria Victoria and Arena Awards.  Thanks also to our wonderful garden volunteers who helped on the day.
