On Friday 19 July it was the turn of Hunstanton and Downham Market to be seen
Borough councillor Carol Bower showed the judges why she thought the town deserved another gold award, while town councillor Adrian Winnington pointed out the planting that had taken place to increase insects, including bees, into the town and the community orchard work. The Hunstanton Heritage Garden Friends and adopt a bedders joined the judges in Esplanade Gardens too.
In Downham Market, Borough Councillor Colin Sampson was joined by Deputy Mayor Jenny Groom and other town councillors and In Bloom committee members. The judges were particularly interested in the community orchard and the development of the allotments. After touring areas including the railway station, The Willows Nature Reserve, memorial garden and orchard they were serenaded by a musician at the Town Hall.
