Congratulating the best blooming gardeners in Royal Greenwich
Congratulations to this year’s winners of Greenwich in Bloom for being recognised as the best gardeners in the borough!
The annual awards sponsored by Coolings Garden Centre celebrate the people in our community who work to bring colour and vibrancy to their gardens and neighbourhoods.
On Monday 29 September, winners across the five categories attended a presentation in Woolwich Town Hall to receive their awards and prizes of up to £25 of Coolings Garden Centre vouchers. Junior winners also received a seed packet to keep their gardening passion growing.
Councillor Linda Bird, Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich said: “Congratulations to this year’s Greenwich in Bloom winners. Judging the wonderful green spaces created by everyone who entered the competition was a tough task.
“From balcony hanging baskets to community gardens, your gardens make our neighbourhoods more vibrant and attractive, and getting outside to take care of them is a great way to boost both physical and mental health.
“Thank you to Coolings Garden Centre for sponsoring the awards."
