_sm1.jpg) Awards
were presented by the Mayor Poole at a ceremony to be held
on 5th October 2009, hosted by award winners Rockley Park Holiday Village,
Hamworthy.
Denise Hill,
Chair of Poole in Bloom, said: “We were delighted with the
number of entries for 2009’s front garden of the year. This
was a huge increase on previous competitions and we hope to
see even more entries for the coming year. The standard in the
school gardening competitions has been tremendous and the
quality of the crops grown by young and enthusiastic entrants
bodes well for the future.” |
