The Garden Competition
The Garden Competition began in 2009 and has continued every year since then, now also incorporating hanging baskets. The front gardens of all residents who live within the 30mph limit are judged independently in July. The competition was sponsored by local businesses for the first few years, but is now sponsored by Haughton and District Garden Guild.
From 2011 results appear on the BKV page for each year. Below are the results of earlier years.
