Tenants, schools and community groups demonstrated their green-fingered skills when 77 gardens were entered in a garden competition in east Leeds.
The green-fingered gardeners make their little corner of Leeds more beautiful with their growing skills and, every year, council housing organisation East North East Homes Leeds sets out to find and reward the best in the area.

The competition, sponsored by partner organisations of ENEHL and run with Leeds in Bloom, wasn't just for experienced gardeners – people new to gardening were very much encouraged to enter.
The awards were Gold, Silver, Bronze, Highly Commended and Commended awards, with an overall best in show for the garden and school awards.
Everyone entering the competition received a certificate and those with bronze, silver, gold awards and the school gardens are being invited to receive their awards at a ceremony in Leeds Civic Hall on Wednesday 23 September.
Angelena Fixter, chair of the East North East Homes Leeds board, said:
"Creating beautiful gardens should be encouraged and acknowledged as they make our community a more attractive place for everyone.
"It will be a fantastic event on Wednesday, celebrating the fantastic gardens we have in the ENEHL area."
