Homes in Somerset held its annual Garden Competition this summer, inviting customers to show off their gardening skills. The judging took place in July, led by Community Enabler, Sharon, and Ben, Director of Finance and Performance, who also hosted the awards ceremony.
Ben said: “It was a real pleasure to be part of this year’s garden competition judging in July. Meeting our customers and seeing the incredible effort they have put into their gardens, some after only a few months in their new homes, was truly inspiring. It was great to get out and about, connect with the community, and celebrate their creativity and dedication.
“It was great to see the entrants again when I hosted the Garden Competition Awards afternoon tea in August. Handing out the prizes to the well-deserved winners was the highlight of my day.”
The event was held at North Petherton Rugby Club, where customers came together to celebrate the winners. A raffle was held on the day, with prizes kindly donated by our two sponsors, A.Murphy Gardening Services and Howard SW.
We had five competition categories this year, and we are pleased to share the winners:

Community Enabler, Sharon, said: “The 2025 Garden Competition Awards at North Petherton Rugby Club was a lovely afternoon, great tea, delicious cake, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. It was wonderful to see all our entries together in one place and celebrate everyone’s hard work. Thank you to our two main sponsors A Murphy Garden Services and Howard SW for supplying prizes for our raffle.”
Thank you to everyone who entered and joined us on the day. Your hard work and creativity made this year’s competition a remarkable success.
