This year local parishes taking part in the Floral Guernsey Community
competition have achieved an outstanding set of results, that’s according to the competition judges from the UK and
Guernsey who were amazed at the high standard shown across the board locally.
The skills and experience of the floral groups were praised, with recognition given to the planting of excellent, varied
floral features that together with environmental and educational work meant that this year’s results are one of the
best ever.
Tony Spruce, Chairman of Floral Guernsey said “
I am especially pleased to see so many hard working, dedicated people rewarded for their efforts in helping to make Guernsey
such a beautiful and sustainable place to live. The council and I would like to thank and congratulate all those who have
taken part in the 2011 Floral Guernsey Community Competition, Douzaine Room and It’s Your Neighbourhood Awards”.
