Town Council shows support for Ross in Bloom
7 October 2022
There was success for Ross in Bloom in the Britain in Bloom competition this year, following a number of years absence from taking part.
A new group was formed just before the pandemic and they have been working hard to bring back Ross in Bloom. Ross-on-Wye Town Council supported the committee with a community grant of £750 to help re-establish the group
Judging took place in July, with the winners being announced mid-September.
Heart of England awarded Ross in Bloom a Silver Award for the Town, and The Royal Horticultural Society and Heart of England in Bloom presented Ross-on-Wye Linear Arboretum (Croft’s Lane/Blake’s Garden/Horizon Group) with an It’s Your Neighbourhood Award Level 4 (Thriving).
