Takes the pots from both sides of Winter Gardens (4)
I believe the answer is:
wins
'sides of winter gardens' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'takes the pots from both' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wins that I've seen before include "Finishes in first place" , "Triumphs" , "Victories" .)
