Woburn Sands Garden Competition Results 2025

Kindly sponsored by Frosts Garden Centre

Deputy Mayor Keith Temple opened the Woburn Sands Band’s Summer Concert on Mowbray Green on this sunny and warm August Bank Holiday Monday. Following an excellent first half of lively and popular music the Councillor Keith Temple presented the awards for the Garden Competition during the interval.

Thank you to the judges, Councillor Kim Fisher, Ms Mary Davies, and Mr David Jordan for their efforts. There were more entries than usual and all to a high standard making the judging difficult. Many Woburn Sands residents follow biodiverse, insect friendly gardening practices which was appreciated by the judges.

Thank you to Blue Diamond Garden Centres who have continued to sponsor the Garden Competition in Frosts name, and congratulations to all the winners and participants.
