Congratulations Gardeners
The 2023 Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards attracted a wonderfully diverse array of gardens and gardeners ranging from Residential to Schools and Business. Our assessors did a fabulous job visiting over 50 gardens and really enjoyed meeting the gardeners. Congratulations to the Special Award Winners and a big thank-you to all our assessors who give up their time to visit every garden entered.
