Friends of East Midlands in Bloom

This is the first year we've had a category for Railway Stations. Our judges loved visiting the 11 stations that entered and giving some very well-deserved awards, which were presented by former President of East Midlands in Bloom Doug Stacey. Congratulations to all station adopters whose hard work results in beautiful station gardens and planters which brighten the journey for people travelling around our region!
