RHS SW in Bloom Awards 2025

October 8, 2025 /

RHS judges visited an extremely hot and sunny Bath in July when they were taken on a four and a half hour tour all around the City, visiting many parks, businesses, a school and numerous Bathonians along the way. The judging tour ended in the wonderful setting of Parade Gardens with a buffet lunch. In October Bath in Bloom committee members travelled to Torquay for the awards ceremony.
