🌾🧑‍🌾 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄...... 🧑‍🌾🌾

🥇 1st place: The scarecrow that fell off a ladder, headfirst into the hedge. The humour behind it made it a firm favourite with people and judges alike.

🥈 2nd place: The giant bee hanging in the tree at Holy Trinity Church - Gee Cross created by The Brownies, with all its little messages. Truly wonderful, well done.

🥉 3rd place: The sunflower man, watering can in hand, simple, well made, and impossible not to smile at.

Huge thanks to everyone who took part and turned their gardens and doorsteps over to it for the weekend. Whilst judging we saw families walking around looking and stopping to take a look.

Thanks also to the Gee Cross Community Partnership, The Village Bakery & Sandwich Shop, and Tom at The Syndicate Project for the prizes, and to Paul Walker for designing the wonderful trophies.

If you didn't get round to seeing them all, hope you had a wander, and we'll look forward to seeing some more wonderful creations next year.
