Great Whittington - Silver Gilt award

The judges said this small village is an excellent example of a small community working together. There was interest shown in all aspects of the Britain in Bloom judging criteria. 

Colourful and sustainable planting was evident in most places and the judges commended the obvious care in maintenance of empty properties. 

The Queen's Head hayricks on the wall had a good selection of colourful plants and there were many containers of a similar standard in other areas.

The front to Scott's of Great Whittington was a good example of of mixed planting by a business and this was replicated in other locations throughout the village. The judges were impressed with the wide range of trees around the village and standards of maintenance were good throughout.
