FOLLOWING 2008's Gold Award and last year's fantastic silver-gilt award, Farnham in Bloom and the town centre's entry into the South & South East in Bloom competition was officially launched last week.

Farnham mayor John Ward thanked sponsors at the launch last Thursday for all their generosity in backing the floral displays around the town in readiness for the arrival of the South and South East in Bloom judges on July 5.
