GREEN-thinking, as well as green-fingers, has helped Leamington strike gold yet again in the Heart of England in Bloom competition.
Leamington in Bloom picked up a gold medal in the prestigious competition for the eighth year running.
Heart of England judges visited parks and gardens across the town in July including Lillington Orchard, Christchurch Gardens, Jephson Gardens and the Sikh Centre Gardens, with the judging taking into account measures to improve biodiversity and natural habitats as well as the more formal flower displays.
All Saints’ Community Garden, ‘The Living Labyrinth’, also received two awards – the 2025 Landscape Awards an Outstanding Award for Community Engagement.
Leamington mayor Coun Ruggy Singh said: “This is an outstanding win for all those involved in securing an eighth unprecedented and prestigious gold award for our stunning town.
“My thanks, and that of Leamington Town Council, is to all those hard-working people and communities that made this happen. The range of people who should be praised includes the Leamington in Bloom team working with Warwick District Council’s green spaces team together with the town’s flourishing gardening groups, schools, care homes, residents and businesses – clearly a winning combination.
“Leamington in Bloom and its teams have found new ways to enhance and develop the town’s natural beauty, while being mindful of the preservation of its wildlife.
“While the floral displays are beautiful and still very much welcomed, we are learning that for humanity and the natural world to survive alongside each other, we all need to play our part in making it thrive.”
