Gardeners of all ages and levels of expertise gathered at The Butterfly House at Castle Gardens on Tuesday 9th July to hear Canon Eric Woods announce the winners of Sherborne in Bloom 2013. The results were eagerly awaited by the green fingered gathering, and everyone was rewarded for their horticultural hard-work which makes Sherborne a beautiful place for residents, visitors and wildlife alike to enjoy.

There were many awards handed out, as the pictures show, including, The Green Restaurant for The Best Pub/Restaurant Floral Display, The Gryphon School for its Enterprise Day and St John ’s Almshouses for The Best Town Centre Frontage.
