Herm

Guersney
2008 RHS Britain in Bloom Winner: Coastal (12k and below)

Cleethorpes 2007

 

Herm received a Gold Award and the RHS Britain in Bloom Unannounced Judging Award

 

Herm is home to 55 residents who are all actively involved in the enhancement of the Island. They aim to get every islander to take part either by helping to clear rubbish from the beaches, taking photos of the work that is being done or watering tubs and baskets during the summer months. The sharing of skills is a joy to behold and the resultant lifestyle which has evolved is to be applauded. The climate of Herm enables the horticultural staff to trial and test many species of plants other entrants would not even think of trying. For such a tiny community to even consider entering the campaign is an achievement in itself but to then go on to attain a well-deserved Gold Medal should be an inspiration to us all.
