Repeating our success of last year, Friends of Astley Park have once again won big at the 2025 Royal Horticultural Society/North West in Bloom – It’s Your Neighbourhood awards ceremony. We scored a Level 5 – Outstanding mark recognising the various high standard ways we help maintain and improve the Park for the enjoyment of the local community.

Pictured below are Friends’ volunteers Sylvia and David Francis receiving the award, on behalf of all our members, from Councillor Barbara Murray – the Lord Mayor of Liverpool. Sylvia and David are particularly involved in looking after the floral displays in the Coach House courtyard and the Friends’ 20th Anniversary Flower Bed next to Astley Hall.
