Judge's comments:

Best Allotment
Roding Road – Plot 42

Not a traditional plot! Imaginative use of various recycled materials to build micro-environments that enable exotic fruits and vegetables to be grown, and excellent quality of the resulting produce.

Best Newcomer
Potato Ground – Plot 48
Stylish and productive, and very well maintained – a credit to a newcomer.

Highly Commended
Potato Ground – Plot 17
Interesting layout, wildlife interest, well managed.


Potato Ground – Plot 20
A productive and well laid out plot.


Potato Ground – Plot 47B
Very neat, nice flowers and fruit as well as the vegetables.


Roding Road – Plot 122
Good use of the space and an attractive and individual plot.


Roding Road – Plot 21
Impressive progress for a newcomer to an overgrown plot. Loved the carrot wheels!


Willingale Road – Plot 48
Interesting management of natural resources,
and little bit different from the run of the mill.
