The Borough’s gardening champions were recognised last week (Wednesday 26 September) at the annual Woking in Bloom and Allotment Awards, held at H.G Wells Conference and Events Centre.
The annual Woking in Bloom Awards are open to residents, business and schools, and, along with the Allotment Awards, there are categories to cover all aspects of gardening, from pots to plots.
All winners and runners up received certificates and prizes of garden centre gift vouchers and trophies.
After presenting the awards Mayor of Woking, Cllr Will Forster, said: “It’s my pleasure to present the Woking in Bloom Awards and celebrate Woking’s green fingered residents for their contribution to making the Borough a beautiful, welcoming place. It is never easy to choose the winners and as always, the judges were impressed by the standards seen across the board.
“I’d like to express my thanks to everyone who took part this year and congratulations to the winners. I hope that these awards inspire others to get out and start growing!”
Woking Borough Council would like to thank sponsors Squires Garden Centre, Serco and Lansbury Business Estate for their continued support of the Woking in Bloom and Allotment Awards.
