She, like the winners of the other two categories, was given vouchers worth £100 to spend at Armitage’s Garden Centres with vouchers worth £75 going to the second prize winners and £50 to those placed third.
Each of the nine winners also gets the super gardening book, Gardeners’ Question Time; Plant Chooser by Bob Flowerdew, John Cushnie, Matthew Biggs and Bunny Guinness courtesy of booksellers, Waterstones.
