Isle of Wight school among Sandown in Bloom 2024 winners

Organised by Sandown Community Association, the event attracted a good level of interest from the town’s green fingered gardeners and businesses.

The entries were of a high standard and gave the judges a difficult time deciding the winners.

However, they eventually reached their decision.

The winners are as follows:

Best Window Display: Annette Conkleton, Sandown High Street.

Best Business Frontage: Glory Art Glass, Melville Street.

Runner up: Kate Cottage, Sandown High Street.

Best Hotel/ Guest House: Inglewood Guest House, Avenue Road.

Runner Up: Burlington Hotel, Avenue Road.

Best Small Front Garden: Alison & Gary Inman, Cross Street.

Runner up: Ann Smith, Cross Street.

Best Rear Garden: Maggie Nuckley, Green Lane.

Runner Up: Kathryn Wilson, Perowne Way.

Runner Up: Forest Edge School.

Awards will be distributed to the winners over the next few weeks and this year, in addition to the cups and certificates, they will also be given National Garden Gift Vouchers, too.

Sandown in Bloom will return for 2025 with judging expected in late June.
