Best front garden competition winners announced by Macclesfield Town Council

The green-fingered winners of the Best Front Garden Competition have been announced by Macclesfield Town Council.

During the lockdown period residents turned to their gardens spending more time in them and improving them, plus we experienced some lovely weather which helped gardens to thrive.

Residents were invited to send in a picture of their front garden, there were three categories; best small front garden, best large front garden and best hanging basket.

The winners were decided by a panel made up of Councillor Mick Warren, Councillor Janet Jackson MBE, Adrian Bullock, Macclesfield Town Ranger and John Williams, a Britain in Bloom volunteer.

The winner of each category was presented with a trophy by the Mayor of Macclesfield, Cllr Sarah Bennett-WakeWe hope to bring the competition back next year.

The winners of each category are:

• Jenni Lawton, best large front garden category

• Katie Wilcock, best hanging basket category

• Martin Handley, best small front garden category
