CRICKLADE - CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Cricklade was named Champion of Champions by the Royal Horticultural Society in its annual Britain in Bloom national competition in September 2011

The Town Council is proud to have worked with Cricklade Bloomers and local people towards this tremendous achievement.

The RHS judges themselves said: “This entrant has been a regular in RHS Britain in Bloom for some years and  on the day of the judge’s visit their experience showed throughout the tour, with a relaxed but full itinerary covering all aspects of the criteria.  Heritage was to the fore, both built and natural, and community was present   in all that we did and saw on the day. Innovative partnership-working and a very clever approach to dealing with problem areas particularly impressed the judges. Your community garden is a real joy”
