Volunteers at an urban farm have won gold with perfect plants and top notch livestock.

Deen City Farm in Colliers Wood picked up top prize in a competition at the festival of city farming and community gardens in north London on Saturday.

The event, at Capel Manor College in Enfield, gives the city’s urban agriculture hotspots the chance to show off their animals, plants and vegetables.

A dozen volunteers from the Deer Park Road farm helped it win first prize in six categories and pip Vauxhall City Farm to the title of overall champion.

Individual winners included nine-year-old Isobel Mackintosh, the youngest member of the team, who won a best handler prize with Catkin the sheep.

A spokesman for the farm said: “We would like to say a huge thank you for all those involved and invite you to come and meet our prize-winning animals.”
