Floral Competition

The CCI Floral Competition judges were treated to a wonderful display of colour, creativity and community spirit as we visited entrants across the city on 5th August!

Each year, we are amazed by the dedication, hard work and commitment that goes into every entry, and we truly appreciate the effort made to help enhance both the city centre and communities across the city.

One of the most striking and inspiring aspects of the judging process was hearing directly from participants about the positive impact gardening and floral creativity have had on their lives. Many spoke about the benefits for mental health and wellbeing, while others highlighted how their projects have strengthened community involvement, bringing neighbours, colleagues and volunteers together through a shared passion for making their area a brighter and more welcoming place.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered, and congratulations to all of our finalists:
