Congratulations to this year’s Harbourside In Bloom Winners!

Judging for our annual Harbourside In Bloom competition took place last week and we are please to announce our three winning gardens.

Taking first place this year was this stunning garden which impressed the judges with its abundance of colour, exceptional planting, and outstanding attention to detail.

The front garden is a spectacular display of vibrant blooms, with beautiful hydrangeas and seasonal flowers creating a striking and welcoming entrance. Beyond the colourful displays, the garden also showcases a highly productive growing space, featuring well-maintained vegetable beds, healthy crops, and a dedicated greenhouse area.

The combination of ornamental planting and practical food growing demonstrates the hard work, care, and passion that has gone into creating this space. The judges were particularly impressed by the variety of plants, excellent upkeep, and the way every corner of the garden has been thoughtfully used.

Taking second place was this charming and beautifully presented garden, which stood out for its creative use of space and vibrant mix of plants and flowers.

The front garden is packed with colour, featuring an impressive collection of pots, containers, and flower displays that create a warm and welcoming entrance. From bright seasonal blooms to attractive shrubs and foliage, every area has been carefully arranged to maximise impact and interest.

The judges were particularly impressed by the variety of planting, the attention to detail, and how the garden combines decorative features with an abundance of flowers to create a cheerful and inviting space. The care and dedication invested in maintaining such a colourful display were evident throughout.

Claiming third place was this stylish and wonderfully maintained garden, which impressed the judges with its smart design, creative features, and inviting outdoor living space.

The garden makes excellent use of its space, combining colourful planting displays with attractive decorative touches and neat, well-kept borders. The dark fencing provides a striking backdrop for the vibrant flowers and hanging baskets, creating a modern and eye-catching look. A comfortable seating area offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings, while every element of the garden has been carefully considered and beautifully presented.

A special mention must also go to Toast the dog, who was delighted to help welcome the judges and added an extra touch of charm to the visit! Although Toast wasn’t included in the judging criteria, he was certainly a favourite with the judging team.

Well done and congratulation to all our winners!
