Intertitle - Best Youth Group Garden was that of Cross Gate Boys (Robert Barr Cup)
A group of people, presumably the judges, are walking around the school building inspecting the border flowers. Boys tend to the border in front of the school building, helped by a teacher. A group of children sit on a lawn among the flowers whilst a teacher points to the different plants. The judges make notes. Three older boys pose next to a flower bed. Then a group of boys pull up potatoes.
Then it is onto Parklands Primary School, where younger boys and girls use hoes to tend to the flowers across the grounds.
Intertitle - A Flowers for Leeds Judge's Garden
A woman comes into her garden, which is shown in close-up.
Intertitle - In the Championship class the standard was high
Two women pushing a pram walk past a garden on the corner of Fir Tree Grove. A group of children sit outside the house posing for the camera. Three small girls go by, one of them on a tricycle.
Then there is a sign for Thorpe Crescent. Here another splendid garden is shown in detail, with the proud gardener. Next on to Ullswater Crescent and another semi-detached house at 176. This house has a garden where it has been planned very symmetrically so the square centre bed is surrounded by a square lawn and neat rectangular borders.
