The borough’s top gardeners were recognised at the annual Haringey in Bloom award ceremony.

Each entrant's garden was visited by a panel of judges, who announced the winners of each competition category at the Sunshine Garden Centre.

Awards were presented by cabinet member for environment Cllr Stuart McNamara and Cllr Sheila Peacock, who was one of the judges.

Winners and runners up won vouchers to spend at the garden centre, which sponsored the awards. 

Cllr McNamara said: “There were some fantastic entries to this year’s competition and it’s great to see so many people taking pride in where they live and making an effort to brighten up their neighbourhood.

“Whether it’s a well placed flower basket, a dazzling shop front, or a rejuvenated community space, every addition has a really positive impact on the surrounding area.

“Well done to everyone who took part and all of the volunteers, residents and businesses who are joining us in making our borough beautiful.”
