nominated by their neighbour.
Bill and Angie Cordell were surprised to hear they had won as they had forgotten their front garden in Bay Tree Rise had been entered.
The couple, who have lived in the village for about three years, have planted a variety of perfumed plants, spring bulbs, tulips and shrubs outside their home.
Mrs Cordell, 73, describes it as her “jewel garden” due to the bright orange, purple and pink colours.
She said: “Bill and I like colourful spring bulbs and I especially like to mix strong colours orange and purple being my favourite. We both like perfumed plants, hence the lavender, which we like to brush every time we enter and leave the house.
