Front Gardens judged soon

It's that time of year again where gardens in Southville are judged for the annual Front Garden Competition. Organised by the local community for the local community, volunteers will post certificates through the doors of those people that have made an effort with their front garden. The best are then shortlisted for an overall award.

The competition started as a way of encouraging local people to look after their front gardens for the benefit of everyone in the community. Great scheme.
