Community Competition 2017

The four Bailiwick entries taking part in this year's Floral Guernsey Community Competition have  been recognised for their achievements at this year’s awards evening.  

Forest  secured the overall winning place with a GOLD AWARD  and the prestigious Lady Dorey Trophy  with Herm and St Andrews also securing GOLD AWARDS and St Saviours a SILVER AWARD. 

'Floral Guernsey judging took place during a glorious week of weather during July, that made the islands and the all the colours of the flowers look at their very best. The Floral Guernsey  groups are involved in a variety of community projects involving businesses and voluntary groups to help to reinstate heritage areas but also establish new habitats for wildlife as well as look after all the floral displays. Always at the forefront  of Bloom the judges were treated to the products of foraging, they were shown a garden created to raise awareness of the potential problem to pets of many common plants and a project to save the Guernsey Bumblebee' said Senior UK Judge, Sue Wood.
