Exmouth in Bloom have been busy judging the Local Gardening Competitions. We have had many entries this year and expect the standards to be very high. In the autumn we invite all our winners to attend a presentation evening. This is one of our favourite events of the year. Thank you to everyone who has entered.
Gerry Bassett, Linda Dennis and Jenny Willmott have been judging the ‘Best Residential Home’ category. It was such a pleasure to meet the staff and residents of the homes. Gardening brings them so much enjoyment along with fresh air, fun and exercise. Well done to the staff of all the homes visited for creating such wonderful environments, Heart-warming indeed.
Please look at some of the wonderful people we met in their gardens.
