Harringay Garden in the Awards again

This from Andy Newman of the Gardens' Residents' Association:

Just to let you know I attended to the "Gardening Against The Odds" awards at Syon House yesterday which is the London home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, on behalf of the GRA - The Gardens Community Garden.

The awards were presented in the Great Conservatory at Syon House in West London. The Duchess of Northumberland - Alan Titchmarch - David Belomy - David Shreeve were some of the named judges.

I was presented with our Award of Merit from the Editor of Life in the Sunday Telegraph Anne Cuthbertson.

I struggled back on the train with an array of prizes yesterday evening.

I assume the story will be publishes in this weekend's Sunday Telegraph Newspaper "Life Magazine".

It was a great day out and I met some really lovely people I was very proud to be in the same company with such amazing projects out their.

This was a national competition sponsored by The Sunday Telegraph and run by the "Conservation Foundation".

Projects were nominated from over the country.

Our prizes include:

• Kew Gardens Ceramic Pot
• Hand Tools - from Sophie Conran including hand fork & hand trowel
• Secateurs
• Seeds
• Twine
• A cheery tree sapling
• Charcoal soil improver
