Kevin and Gwen Lee are celebrating winning the Front Garden Category in the Hesketh Bank Parish Council’s ‘Best Kept’ competition.
Gwen said they were “bowled over” to find out their front garden had won, which is the result of many years of hard work. Kevin explained, “There was just a lawn and a few trees in the garden when we bought the property 14 years ago. So our son, Stuart, who has a degree in landscape architecture set about doing something more interesting with it and we then took over the maintenance.” Stuart, who worked as a paramedic for 26 years and did gardening as a hobby at the time, installed a wide variety of plants and a pond, adding interest and colour which the judges of the Best Kept competition recognised. Gwen added, “We have been blessed with the weather this year and colour, though it has also meant a lot more weeding too!”
It is little surprise that Stuart finally left the NHS to do landscaping full time earlier this year and the award is certainly a boost to his budding business.
The couple’s prize for winning was a VIP meal for two courtesy of Hesketh Bank Parish Council.
