Broomfield in Bloom! Park volunteers recognised with five Enfield in Bloom Awards

Broomfield Park's volunteers have won five awards for their tremendous, green-fingered efforts in the prestigious Enfield in Bloom competition. 

The Horticulture group won a Gold Award in the ‘Exceptional Horticultural Contribution for the Local Community’ section for their work in the Walled Garden – particularly the much-loved Long Border. The recently reopened Conservatory was awarded silver in the same category as was the Community Orchard, also a Silver Award winner. 

Broomfield Park’s Wildlife Pond was a Gold Award winner in the ‘Environmental Wildlife Garden’ category and a Bronze Award recognised the innovative Broomfield Park Growing Space. 

The ethos of the Enfield in Bloom scheme is to encourage lasting improvements to our local environment by rewarding horticultural best practice, environmental friendliness, community involvement and sustainability. We are very grateful to have Broomfield Park projects celebrated by the competition organisers and award category sponsors: GP Garden Services from Crews Hill, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Ritec International Ltd.   

Regular visitors to the park will already know how our volunteers nurture and enhance the park environment, but this remarkable haul of awards is testament to the quality and depth of the horticultural and environmental work in Broomfield Park, which is of course a team effort. Alongside the volunteers, resident horticulturalist Victoria Black and the Enfield Council Parks Management Team and gardeners must also be celebrated for their work on these projects.

An award ceremony will be held at the Chickenshed Theatre on Friday 18th October to celebrate the achievements of everyone working on parks, gardens and green spaces across Enfield Borough.
