THE team from Whitchurch in Bloom had their judging day on Friday, July 8.

Having won bronze medal in the 2021 Small Towns category of the RHS In Bloom competition, the team are hoping to build on their success. 

The team has been supported by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council as well as a generous crowdfunding effort.

On the day, Kathy Hardy and Caroline Wells, who have led the community-wide initiative, led Mayor of Whitchurch Tracy Woodruff and RHS judge John Tweddle around the displays, culminating outside Whitchurch Town Hall.

Judging results will be announced in September.

The Royal Horticultural Society is the UK’s leading gardening charity, which aims to enrich everyone’s life through plants, and make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. Britain's nationwide gardening competition, Britain in Bloom, has been keeping our towns and cities in bloom since 1963, with groups across the country preparing for their judgement days by adding colour to their area.
