FARNHAM positively blossomed when the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Britain in Bloom judges came to town.

Facing tough competition in the new BIDS, town centres and city centres category, members of the Farnham in Bloom community were keen to show the judges what makes Farnham’s entry worthy of an award.

During a tour lasting more than two hours last Wednesday, judges met volunteers from the Farnham Rivers Group, space2grow, Bishop’s Meadow, Farnham Community Farm, Victoria Garden, and children from St Andrew’s who interrupted their school holiday to show judges their school garden.

Judges also met members of the business community who talked about how Farnham in Bloom enhances the street scene and makes it an enjoyable place for people to visit and shop.
