Wymondham in Bloom have said they are "incredibly proud" and "thankful" for all who took park, including those who put flowers out despite not taking part in the competition, adding they hope the displays brightened people's days.
The group have been tending to the local planters, and have helped install a four-tiered fountain, as well as planting pollinator-friendly flowers. Their next event is the sunflower growing competition in September.
