I was really pleased to learn
that Broughty Ferry in Bloom was awarded silver gilt in the coastal town
category at the 50th annual Beautiful Scotland Awards held in the Aberdeen
Beach Ballroom last week. All entries in the awards are assessed against three
core pillars of the Beautiful Scotland campaign - horticultural achievement;
environmental responsibility and community participation. A silver gilt award
means that a high standard has been achieved which meets the judging criteria
and objectives of Beautiful Scotland, including sections of exceptionally high
standards.
The Broughty Ferry in Bloom volunteers and the partner organisations
they work with deserve great credit for the wonderful job they do in creating
the colourful displays in the town.
The Friends of Barnhill Rock Garden
and Queen Street Community Garden are entrants in the 2016 it’s Your
Neighbourhood campaign. Keep Scotland Beautiful rewards participating groups
through a series of certificates to acknowledge the good work being done. These will be presented on 26 October.
