Green Lanes Allotment in Hatfield has held a special event to honour its hard working community of green-fingered planters and cultivators.

Celebrating the diversity and creativity of the space in Hatfield Garden Village, the Green Lanes Allotment Association invited plot owners, Hatfield Town Council staff, and the Mayor of Hatfield along to tour the site and see the effort that has gone into it.

Councillor Gareth Aicken, Mayor of Hatfield, was then invited to select his favourite from a shortlist of standout plots and present them with an official certificate of recognition, as well as prizes from Hatfield Town Council and Aylett Nurseries to help them further the quality of their plots.

The best overall plot award went to Angelina Calugaru, while David Murphy came away with the most improved plot prize. Upon winning her award and prizes, Angelina commented that she was “over the moon, this will definitely be going straight back into the plot!”.
