Flowers Flourish at Walmer in Bloom Garden Competition
Run by Walmer Parish Council, the contest has been ongoing
18 years to improve the Parishes natural environment.
The winners of the Garden competition were selected from
Lower, Middle and Upper Walmer with the very best to be considered for the Deal
Society Trophy.
Over 250 properties were posted commended certificates,
whilst the runners up were given Highly Commended or Certificate of Excellence.
Royal Horticultural Society judge Janine Doulton said: “The
gardens and containers demonstrated what a lot of work, patience and skill had
been put into them to achieve such good results.
Categories included best garden (won by Mr Lawson of
Salisbury Road, Mr and Mrs Bell of Coventry Gardens), best container (Mr Recas
of Dover Road and Alan Scott of Herschell Road East) and best use of small
space (Mrs Rudge of Devon Avenue and Mr R Heine of Cheriton Place).
The business category was won by Castle Fish Bar with Walmer
pubs The Stag, The Lighthouse and Drum Major in joint second place and third
place given to Walmer Baptist Church.
The winners will be awarded their prizes on October 13.
Committee Chairman, Sue Le Chevalier said: “The competition
provides an opportunity to recognise those local residents and businesses who
work hard to enhance the visual amenity of Walmer.
“We would like to
express our gratitude to local businesses, which generously pledge prizes for
the competition.
