Harrogate wins gold at national Britain in Bloom awards
Harrogate Business Improvement District has won gold at the RHS Britain in Bloom awards.
The organisation, which aims to increase footfall in the town centre, was successful in the BIDs, town centres and city centres category.
It was recognised for its Harrogate Floral Summer of Celebration campaign, a fortnight-long initiative that celebrated the town's international connections through a series of town centre floral designs.
The summer of celebration was in addition to Harrogate BID's regular floral offering of almost 200 barrier baskets, shop doorway planters and hanging baskets.
One of the gold-winning displays.
Matthew Chapman, the manager of Harrogate, said:
