Britain in Bloom judging

August 3, 2011

Yesterday, a Northumbria in Bloom judge, visited the village to assess the Trust’s entry in the RHS “It’s Your Neighbourhood” Awards Scheme.

With members of ‘The Bloomers’ committee he toured the village, within the boundary chosen for the Award.  The assessment is based on community participation, environmental responsibility and gardening achievement.

He also helped assess the Trust’s own Front Garden Awards.
