A huge thank you to all the businesses who took part in Wymondham in Bloom this year. Nearly 30 put themselves forward for judging with many more providing great floral displays.
July was a busy month. It began on the 17th of July when members of Wymondham Gardening Club judged the Business Competition. Many thanks to them for undertaking this role. The sun shone and the judges were very impressed with both the variety of plants and plant care on display.
The 22nd of July was Anglia in Bloom judging day. A team of two enjoyed visiting a variety of venues including the Browick Road Community Orchard, Fairland Church Dementia Garden, Mid Norfolk Railway Station and the Abbey gardens as well as touring the town. The judges and volunteers enjoyed a buffet lunch at the Abbey provided by Waitrose. The judges gave nothing away so we are keeping our fingers crossed for good results at the Award Ceremony on the 4th September in St Ives.
Wymondham in Bloom held its award ceremony at The White Hart on the 31st. The event was well attended and we were delighted to celebrate with both category winners and those receiving their certificates. The final overall winners were as follows:
- Plant Care - Fosters.
- Creativity and Originality - Star Throwers.
- Longevity - White Hart.
- Overall Impact - Warners.
- Hidden Gem - Town Green Garden Café.
- Best Newcomer - Cavick House Farm Café.
- Most Improved - Kett’s Books.
- Public Vote - Ex Services.
Wymondham in Bloom would not be possible without its volunteers, who work tirelessly - whatever the weather - to keep the town looking great. This year one special volunteer, Lesley Clarke, was presented with the John Reeve Award for extraordinary contribution to the 2025 campaign.
