‘Blooming borders’ winners announced

Residents from 14 boroughs entered L&Q’s Blooming Borders competition this year, making it one of the best yet.

Many of the lucky winners joined L&Q staff at a presentation ceremony and lunch at L&Q's Slough office. Despite some light-hearted rivalry, everyone was delighted to meet other winners and staff and the day was a great success.

Rupert Moyne, L&Q’s West Neighbourhood Services Director, was delighted to make the presentations and spoke of the value and pleasure these gardens give to others.

A balcony at Gardner House, Feltham, proves you don’t need acres to make a space beautiful.
