Wight In Bloom Winner!

Farringford Walled Garden wins the Wight in Bloom Best Small Tourist Attraction Garden

Best Small Tourist Attraction Garden

Over 125 gardens were judged by volunteer experts in nine different categories for the Annual Wight in Bloom competition. 

Categories ranged from best small front garden, to best water feature, and best edible garden. The Garden judges based their results on overall impression, general design and plant features, use of flowers and colour, presentation and maintenance, innovation and creativity. A new judging category for this year was sustainability for which the Walled Garden got full marks.
