A Labor of Love That’s what gardening is for most gardeners. In the first-ever Hatfield Garden Contest, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the fruits of their labors. You will too! No matter what you’re growing, most gardeners seem to agree with Ellen Kopp of Schwab Road. “Our garden is a labor of love, and we enjoy sharing the harvests with family and friends,” says Kopp, whose massive vegetable gardens won her the blue ribbon in the Edible Garden category in this year’s first-ever Hatfield “Gotta Grow” Garden Contest. Gardening is a labor of love, and the contest asked residents to show us the fruits of their labors—and they came through in flying colors. Whether they were gardening a large property or a tiny deck, feeding their families and sharing with others, or feeding their souls by creating a backyard oasis to get away for a bit, our contest winners demonstrated a remarkable flair for creativity, beauty and comfort. We had almost 60 entries in the five categories, and our judges were incredibly impressed with the overall quality of the submissions. We hope you will plan on entering the 2025 Hatfield Garden Contest!
