Once again, Islington Gardeners have been pleased to assist Islington's Greenspace with the running of this year's competition and in particular to provide judges for the preliminary judging. We have again sponsored the prizes for Wildlife Friendly Gardening in appropriate categories, and again all winners received complimentary IG membership for a year. We are pleased that the number of entries increased again this year, and we list below the prizewinners in the various categories.
