Entered Britain in Bloom competition
Golden Gardens was one of several projects in
Bedford Borough Council’s Bedford portfolio entry to the
national Britain in Bloom competition. Britain in Bloom
is one of the largest horticultural campaigns in Europe and participants
can earn top marks in horticultural achievement, environmental
responsibility and community participation.
Bedford picked
up a Silver award in the competition, a great achievement in
such a huge competition. The judges were
particularly impressed with Golden Gardens, noting that ‘the
community gardens are a fantastic community asset; all concerned
with the project are to be congratulated’
