I saw some super gardens in Buncrana recently whilst judging the Buncrana Tidy Towns Garden Competition. Despite a number of weeks of solid rain the gardens are a fabulous credit to the dedication of their owners, as despite the afore mentioned rain the baskets and containers in the garden looks great and the flower beds and lawns were pictures of perfection….like every year I’m sworn to secrecy about who the winners may be…so enjoy the slideshow below showing some of the sights from a really enjoyable day!
