Sidmouth’s
record as a premier floral town has been confirmed, by winning Gold in the prestigious
‘Britain in Bloom’ competition.It was a just reward for the endeavours of so many
across the community to enhance the town in a way that benefits its enviable reputation
as a resort of distinction. We see highlights in the showpiece Connaught
Gardens. Look out for the magnificent floral peacock in Blackmore Gardens, with
fish, donkeys and sea monsters in other areas of the town. It is there
in the superb displays that adorn hotels and guesthouses, gardens public and private,
shops and streets. We see it too, in the colour that tumbles from cottage sill
and wall and even the car park surrounds. |
