Council leaders presented prizes and certificates at the Tower Hamlets in Bloom Awards 2024, which took place on 10 December at the Art Pavilion in Mile End Park.
The annual competition, which is part of the national In Bloom scheme, encourages more people to take an interest in horticulture and to develop a greater appreciation and respect for the natural environment.
Cllr Maium Talukdar, Deputy Mayor of Tower Hamlets, said: “I am amazed at the high standards of all this year’s Tower Hamlets in Bloom entrants and participants. This annual event demonstrates how horticulture brings communities together and motivates us to make positive changes through environmental and community action.”
QM has been recognised by the Tower Hamlets Council for our efforts in making the borough a greener, brighter and nicer place to live, work and visit. Council leaders awarded Queen Mary the Best Newcomer (Group) award for the Whitechapel library garden that is maintained by volunteers from the local community. The award celebrates the work of volunteers, recognises our sustainability efforts and reiterates our civic agreement and commitment to be a force for good in the community.
Tower Hamlets Council's Biodiversity Officer John Archer said: "it's a lovely peaceful garden, amazing to find in the middle of Whitechapel"
