Stephen and Louise Scott, who achieved gold for their display at The Walls Bed and Breakfast, said: “We decided to enter as we believe that floral displays are appreciated and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, and we feel that it is essential to do what we can to make our town look attractive.”
Ord House Country Park had two submissions, as a small business and for the pub in its grounds.
