GARDENERS in Weardale have been potting petunias and digging in delphiniums to impress the judges in a parish council's first competition.
Judges Mike and Pat Birch, from the Arcadia Garden Centre, near Stokesley, North Yorkshire, were impressed by the high standard of entries they found in gardens in Wolsingham and Thornley.
Parish Council chairman John Anderson presented trophies to garden section winner Anne Arnison and Freddie Bell, who had the best container displays.
Other winners were Mrs V Crooks, Mrs M Tasker, Mr R Garraway (highly commended), Mrs D Walker and Mrs S Lister.
