The Summer Bedding, Brodsworth Hall, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
We won Yorkshire in Bloom this year! The judges comments :
"Brodsworth Hall and Gardens, Doncaster – Gold Award and Category Winner
Visiting the site in glorious sunshine was always going to help show this entry in all its glory but the judges were simply blown away by the stunning grounds and incredibly high level of maintenance displayed here. The knowledge of horticulture applied here is at its highest level and is testament to the hard work and dedication of both paid staff and volunteers.
Highlights are many: The magnificent, ancient Lebanon Cedar which predates the hall and the giant Californian Redwood are ‘must sees’ for tree lovers; the superb collection of bedding complementing a vast array of herbaceous plantings all which were almost totally weed free, the charming Fern Grotto – the only one of its kind in the country; and the exquisitely maintained hedges and shrubs.
Amazingly, there are major ongoing restorative projects about to start to compliment these features even further. All who are involved with this site have definitely provided the ‘WOW’ factor! "
