Emma Blandford, Owner at Uncle Henry’s said “We are delighted with our win, regaining our title which we previously won in 2019! Last year, our Maize Maze design was Sunflowers to celebrate the introduction of our new Sunflower Trail here on the farm. Visitors to the Maize Maze had to find 10 points and along the way, they learnt all about bees and their important role in nature! There was lots of information to discover including how we encourage bees and other insects on our farm. We have a very exciting design for this year and look forward to sharing it with you soon!”
