Councillor John Perry, Wimborne Minster Town Mayor 2005-2006 proposed and sponsored the new competition and was absolutely delighted with the number of entries received. " The quality of the work produced was of a very high standard giving the judges a difficult task in selecting the winners, " said Cllr. Perry. He hoped there would be even more entries next year as this new competition encourages more people in the community to become involved in the 'In Bloom' Campaign.
