Lincolnshire’s unforgettable gardens
It was our pleasure, once again, to be invited to help judge the Lincolnshire Gardens Trust Photographic Competition for 2021.
Despite the continuing limitations placed on gardens opening to the public for charity owing to the pandemic, there was again an excellent number of entries.
The highly commended and winning entries in each category received their awards at the LGT AGM in November held at the Petwood Hotel.
If you would like to enter the Unforgettable Gardens competition in 2022, entry forms can be found on the Trust’s website: www.lincolnshiregardenstrust.org
The closing date is Friday 14th October 2022 and entries can be emailed to: info@lgt.org.uk or shieldssb@aol.com (Digital images need to be available in high resolution and at least 300dpi) or prints sent by post to: Steffie Shields, The Old Orchard, Church Lane, Welby, Lincolnshire NG32 3LS.
