Uddingston Pride named Scottish finalist in Britain in Bloom competition

Uddingston Pride are among six Scottish finalists who are competing in this year’s RHS Britain in Bloom competition.

Now in its 56th year, 70 competition finalists will be going all-out to showcase their horticultural skills, community and environmental efforts.

Finalists are put forward to the UK final based on their progress nationally or regionally and compete across 11 categories including village, town and coastal.

Each will be visited by a pair of RHS judges in August as they vie for a medal, a category win and to be named Champion of Champions.

Liz Wilson, chair of Uddingston Pride, said: “We are very excited about being asked to take part in the Britain in Bloom competition this year.

“There are only six entries for Scotland and we are in the Urban Community Category.

“We know that all the people in the village and the local shops will help us keep the village at a very high standard.”
