Brighton and Hove proved itself blooming marvellous at this year’s City in Bloom awards.
The annual gardening campaign challenges communities, residents and businesses to work together to improve the city by making it a cleaner, greener and more attractive place to live and visit.
The awards ceremony took place last Thursday at the Thistle Hotel in Brighton and featured results of ten gardening competitions that were held across the city through the summer.
They included best street, best basement, best wildlife garden, best front garden, best hanging basket, best window box, best hanging basket, best licensed, best community garden and best primary school garden.
