26/09: Islington Greenspace success in London in Bloom Competition 2008
We are delighted to announce that the London Borough of Islington has been awarded gold in this year's London in Bloom Competion, and was placed best in category beating well-heeled Kensington and Chelsea. This award reflects huge efforts from everybody involved, and Islington Gardeners are delighted to applaud the achievement. The judges assessed floral displays, (we have all admired the flowers in the middle of the Holloway Road for the past few summers) parks, private gardens and business premises, and also considered how clean Islington's streets are. There were record numbers of entries into the Islington in Bloom Competition and Greenspace were able to show the judges an abundance of school, community, and private front gardens, and business displays.
In addition, Islington's latest community garden, King Henry's Walk Garden, got first prize in the London in Bloom's Community Garden Award, and the Angel Town Centre got the third prize in the L-in-B Town and City Centre Category. Brilliant.
