Ashford In Bloom 2021
It was a hard job judging some of the best entries we’ve ever had but the Ashford in Bloom gardening competition winners have been announced.
Mayor of Ashford Cllr Callum Knowles was involved in the judging and said: “The standard of entries was exceptional. With the focus on reusing, recycling and reducing, we were delighted to receive a record number of high quality entries. A special word of thanks to those companies who have donated great prizes, we are grateful for their generosity.”
