Helen Booth should have an individual of the smallest gardens in the competitiveness but also one particular of the most captivating.

For Helen, who juggles work as a care assistant and doing work in a simply call centre, the tiny backyard significant in the Linthwaite hills is a serious haven.

Stroll previous her lavender meadow and in by the garden gate and you can see a tiny strip of land brimming with character - and pots in addition a chiminea which Helen purchased with her prize as a single of final year's winners.

Helen continues to impress with her willingness to tackle any work opportunities, including wall building up and her clear artistic expertise. Her planting has so impressed neighbouring local pub, The Sair that this 12 months, she's tackled their hanging baskets too.

As clearly as relaxing places for Helen, there are shady spots for her two cats and two dogs. And this year, Helen has gone for more color, turning her tiny corner of the Colne Valley into an even brighter spot than last yr.
