Earlier this year Kingsbridge was invited to represent the South West region in the RHS National finals of Britain in Bloom. On Monday this week the sun shone and the town looked at it's very best with stunning floral displays and good examples of horticultural excellence throughout.
The two RHS National Judges Lesley Jelleyman and Kim Parish were escorted by the Kingsbridge in Bloom (KIB) Chairman to various locations throughout the town for the two and a half hour assessment, finishing at the Methodist Church to view the display of work carried out by the team over the past twelve months. They were particularly impressed by how the group had completely transformed the look of the the town over the last ten years.
Quote by Chairman: The judges were very impressed by the effort put into the campaign by our Bloom team and the fact that we have a very clean and attractive town, which we are very proud of. We are privileged to have been chosen to represent the SW against all of the other regions in UK but we will not know our result until late October when they will be announced at the RHS awards function at the Waterside Centre in Belfast.
The team have worked tirelessly to get to where we are so fingers crossed for a good result!

Many pictures were taken, mainly by Paul Martin at the time of judging and a town crier video too!
