The Grand prize winner was Mabel Ray Richens. Here’s what Colette McKinnon, CGA Chair 2022, had to say about Mabel Ray’s garden: “Mabel Ray’s reaction to gardening encapsulates a spirit of wonder that we would like to foster in everyone. She was blown away that a seed turns into something wonderful. She was meticulous in her gardening practice and journal keeping. For example, she identified the orb spider as beneficial in her garden and explained why. She also made a table of tips and tricks, explaining the role of straw mulch and compost. She noted Love (attention, care and patience) was fundamental to her success”.
Congratulations Mabel Ray!
