Councillor Richard Cooper, Leader of Harrogate Borough Council said:

Once again, the Harrogate district has excelled at the Yorkshire in Bloom awards. Our floral reputation is extremely important to us and is one of the many reasons why so many people visit our district.

I would like to congratulate every single person, from volunteers, school children, community groups, businesses and other organisations for their efforts. They have dedicated many hours across the whole year, working incredibly hard to create fantastic floral designs, which really showcase the district’s towns and villages.

I would also like to thank everyone from the council’s Parks and Environmental Services team for their contribution to ensure our continued success in the Yorkshire in Bloom awards.
