Congratulations to the people who contribute to keeping my local park looking good.
At the recent Bath in Bloom ceremony, as part of the regional South West in Bloom competition, Alice Park Community Garden were surprised (and delighted) to be presented with The Gordon Ford Trophy. This is a special award given through the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) It’s Your Neighbourhood (IYN) scheme.
Britain in Bloom first awarded the trophy in 1970; the City of Bath won it back in 1972. The cup represents the annual award presented to the top-performing or best regional It’s Your Neighbourhood entry that achieves a Level 5 – Outstanding rating.
A press release l have received adds: “Many thanks to the organisers for this much appreciated recognition for the work our volunteers do to maintain the community garden.
Special mention has to be made to our wonderful garden manager, Kathy Cook. Our It’s Your Neighbour assessment report states, ‘Kathy is at the helm of something very special here, as Alice Park Community Garden is an Oasis of charismatic calm for the community.”
Alice Park Community Garden is a regenerative space for people to reconnect with their local environment and nature. A place to sow seeds, tend to plants and grow community.”
