It was delightful to visit the volunteers at TGV in Bloom, who were inspected this week by judges for Britain in Bloom – part of the Royal Horticulture Society.
As a community, Tadpole Garden Village will be competing with the village of Cannington in Somerset. The judges were very complementary of the community spirit in Tadpole, particularly with people of all ages volunteering to beautify the village and manage the local allotments.
Justin Tomlinson said: "For such a new area to have as large and dedicated group of volunteers is impressive and I wish them the best of luck in the competition when the results are announced in October."
