Outstanding Award

Friends of Astley Park have achieved an Outstanding level award – ie ‘top marks’ – at a recent Royal Horticultural Society Britain in Bloom ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ ceremony. This is for our upkeep and presentation of the Sensory Garden and Lost Fountain areas of the Park. Pictured below are Friends’ members Connie and David Joyce receiving the award certificate. However, this award is recognition of all the hard work put in by our members who have maintained and improved these garden features over many months this year so that they are well loved features for the wider community of Park visitors.

This is a picture of our Outstanding Award (the top tier receiving points between 86 and 100).  In a few weeks’ time FoAP will receive an analysis of where the points were awarded and a critique of what we did well and suggestions for areas where we can improve. The certificate will be displayed in our section of the Astley 100 exhibition in the Coach House Gallery.
