The Blooming Marvelous Bloom and Grow Judging Visit...
The Bloom and Grow judges visited Oldham today to view our entry into the North West in Bloom Competition.
The judges were wowed by some of the displays and gave hearty appreciation to the community spirit Oldham holds.
We were live-tweeting the visit throughout the day and gave live updates, news and more to our followers on @oldhamcouncil.
Because we want everyone to see all the great work the parks team, community groups and employees have done, we’ve collated our favourite images from today and put them together in this blog post.
