■ Adults

Most potatoes - Lyn Hughes. Most even-sized crop - Shirley Wallace. Biggest potato - Rodney Hughes.

Bush SuperGrans annual Spud in a Bucket competition was a great success thanks to volunteers who gave their time to lend a hand, and to those who participated.

It was wonderful to see the number of crops that had grown , which made judging very difficult. Bush SuperGrans appreciates all the families that supported and contributed towards this successful event.

The eventis a great way for families to engage in the community while spending quality time teaching children a basic life skill. There is no age restriction when growing a vegetable garden .
