BEST ALLOTMENT

Judging for this year's awards is now complete! The Best Allotment results are as follows:

Best overall - Teresa Utting, Plot 2B Bedingfield Crescent
Teresa has not had the allotment for long but we loved her creative use of space - and the lovely home for her chickens!

Best newcomer - David Foskett, Plot B Swan Allotments
Dave took over this overgrown space just over a year ago and has transformed it single-handedly with just a spade and a fork! He now regularly donates lovely fresh produce to the Community Larder.

Runners-up
Chris Davey, Plot 6A Swan Allotments
Every inch of this space is filled with lovely healthy plants and compost bins.
David and Anita Graves, Plot 16A Saxon Allotments
A beautifully maintained plot which the owners work on most days. Their raspberries are the envy of the other allotment holders!

Also on show is the Tamsyn Imison Award trophy (designed and engraved by Lesley Pyke). This award is for the volunteer person or organisation regarded as having contributed most to the community in the preceding year.

A big "thank you very much" to those members of the Halesworth Men's Shed who constructed a tree surround for us from the timber we turned up with, unannounced, a few Saturdays ago.
A splendid job done then and there and SO appreciated. 👏👏👏
