Shipston in Bloom Rewards Fabulous Floral Displays

The judges of this year’s Shipston in Bloom gardening competition were hugely impressed with the colourful spectacle that awaited them as they began the process of assessing the town’s gardens, containers and allotments. 

Homes in the aptly named Greenfield Road and Greenfield Close snatched the overall town front garden awards (medium and large), while the overall winning rear garden was found in Hawthorn Way. The Household Waste site was commended for an excellent display, just missing out on first place in the public places category to the Day Centre at the Ellen Badger Hospital.

""Thanks to all the keen gardeners who helped make this competition so enjoyable to judge. Thanks also go to the judges themselves as well as the local organisations which support Shipston in Bloom" SIB member, Mal Lawrence said.

All winners and runners up will be invited to a presentation evening in the autumn.
