KEEN gardener Alf Benbow scooped the title of Best Front Garden in this year's Nantwich in Bloom competition, for the fourth time.

Green-fingered Alf has always been a fan of gardening and spends two or three hours every day in his blooming lovely garden.

He stuck to last year's winning formula of plants and flowers to bring the title home again to Birchin Lane.
