Wanstead resident wins Redbridge in Bloom award for eco-friendly garden

A front garden in Wanstead was named Best Sustainable Planet-Friendly Garden in this year’s Redbridge in Bloom competition.

“I’ve entered for years with no success because gardens seemed to be judged on what was in flower at that moment. So, I was really pleased when this new category was introduced. My garden is tiny, but it’s buzzing with bees on the lavender and salvias. The plumbago, with its gorgeous blue flowers, was planted in 1988 when I came here and flowers every year,” said Susan Winch-Furness of Chaucer Road.
