Community wins gold award at Britain in Bloom

A GROUP of green-fingered residents in Woolwell have transformed their estate's gardens so much that they have been classed as a village by South West in Bloom judges - and been named the best in Devon.

Woolwell in Bloom volunteers run 26 gardens in the suburb, and have even registered themselves as a charity to be able to do more work on sprucing up their community's green spaces.

This year's Britain in Bloom awards saw them awarded Gold in the village of the year competition - as there is no 'estate' category and go on to win the pennant for Devon's Village of the Year.

What's more, they have now officially opened a new multi-use pathway for wheelchair users and others with mobility issues, which is just one of the projects which they hope will stand them in good stead for more awards next year.
