GOLD Winners 

Receive SW in Bloom Flag to fly in their Town or Village.

South West in Bloom have awarded twenty three Gold Flags to the recipients of the SWIB Gold awards at their annual prize giving at Newquay on 15th Sept 2011. These flags are intended to be flown within the winning Communities as quality assessment indicator to the local community and Tourists to the South West in recognition of the highest standard of achievement in the areas of Horticulture the environment and Community Participation. It is hoped that many other Communities will set out to achieve this award and that the slogan The Golden South West will be further enhanced. It is hoped that the recipients will maximise the potential of this new award in celebration of their having reached the highest level, that of GOLD. Unlike other awards which are largely site specific this award reflects the whole community
