Polegate Town Council honours local gardeners in blooming success

In a display of appreciation for the artistry of gardening, accomplished gardeners and dedicated allotment cultivators have been duly acknowledged through a competition organised by Polegate Town Council.

Serving as the chair of the flower group, Councillor Dan Dunbar – himself an ardent gardener – extended a respectful nod to the local gardening community.

“As a gardener myself I’m fully aware of the trials and tribulations that each growing season brings and was impressed with the strength and standards of the displays we have seen this year, its delightful to see many residents keeping their gardens blooming and allotments full of produce."

Councillor Dunbar expressed profound admiration for the numerous residents who have diligently nurtured their gardens into vibrant showcases and transformed their allotments into bountiful sources of produce.

In his dual capacity as the town's Mayor, Councillor Dunbar expressed his deep satisfaction in personally visiting the distinguished winners.

"As the Town's Mayor I was delighted to visit the winners in their gardens or on their plots to present them with their certificates. Visiting the proud gardeners while their displays are still in full bloom was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them while having a closer look at the floral delights.”
