Blooming brilliant tenants celebrate success at garden awards!

Green-fingered council tenants have been commended for transforming their gardens into beautiful green spaces. 

The annual garden competition, run by the Dover District Tenants’ Consultative Group (DDTCG), saw 19 properties entered from across the district. 

Categories included Best Back Garden, Best Front Garden, Most Improved and Best Use of Space. 

Gardens were visited and judged on multiple criteria including sustainability and kindness to wildlife, maintenance, social and leisure, and contribution to the community. 

An awards ceremony was held at Kearsney Abbey’s Billiards Room where the winners were announced. 

DDC’s deputy leader Cllr Jamie Pout said: “Yet again we’ve been wowed by the hard-work and dedication of our tenants who have created these beautiful gardens. 

“The standard this year was exceptionally high, and we would like to say a big thank you to all those who entered. We can see how much effort went into making these gardens so special and it really does help to make the Dover district an even better place to live. 

“Congratulations goes to the winners and those who were highly commended and thanks to the Dover District Tenants’ Consultative Group for hosting the competition once again.”
