Leeds Allotment Federation won the Premier Gold Award at the show and this is Derek Hanton in front of the winning garden.
We had a stand at the 2023 Harrogate Spring Show and this is me and big Phil. When he and Tony went walkabout it was me and little Phil. If you look carefully little Phil is on my left.
Pearl Taylor was given an award for her long service to the
allotment movement and Kimberworth Park
Allotments, where she was
secretary for many years. It was a
privilege to present the award
as I have known and
respected Pearl for
many years.
Obituary Peter Blakey
To me Peter was one of the most pleasant people I have met. Both Peter
and Kathryn his wife would always go out of their way to greet you and do anything to help you if they could, no matter where you were. A lovely couple.
Peter was also a reliable and great contributor of superb vegetable plants for the Leeds Allotment Federation’s show- stopping and award-winning ‘Allotment Show Gardens’ created for the Harrogate Flower Shows and the Great Yorkshire Show and Chelsea Flower Show.
Peter was a lovely man and a great allotment gardener; he will be sadly missed.
