Tenby’s floral team have been praised once again as the resort took its 30th Wales in Bloom title last Friday.

At a results ceremony held at Wolfscastle Country Hotel, it was announced that the town took top place in the new ‘coastal resort up to 12,000’ category, with a silver gilt.

“We’re delighted to be the first winners in the new category and thrilled to take our 30th title after missing out last year,” said chairman of Tenby in Bloom, Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane, the Deputy Mayor.

“It’s tremendous to have our floral achievements recognised in first place. We’re two points up on last year, so we’re creeping closer to that magic gold!

“I’d like to say a huge thanks to the town’s beautification team, every sponsor and anyone who helped in any way.

“It’s a huge challenge for us to keep our standards up every year, so this accolade shows it’s worth it for Tenby,” she added.

Wales in Bloom judge John Wood said that the extent of the partnership working in Tenby and the results now being achieved throughout the town were to be commended as “exemplary”, with areas and businesses such as the town’s gardens, Gilroy Phillips, Croft Gardens, St. Florence Parade, the Giltar Hotel, the Buccaneer Inn, Hope and Anchor, and the Crown Inn, being recognised in the praise he gave.

Tenby’s Giltar Hotel also came first in the category for ‘hotels, guest houses, public houses and restaurants’.

Saundersfoot took a silver in coming third in the ‘small village’ class, while there were also awards for Amroth Bay Holidays and Lydstep Beach Village in the ‘caravans static or touring, camping and holiday home sites’ section.
