Every part of the estate in Huntingdon took part in Moor in Bloom 2008, with floral fever stretching from the schools to Thongsley Fields.
Judges admired the eco gardens at St John's Primary and St Peter's School, before moving on to the beautiful blooms in Swallowbush allotments and Mayfield Shops.

Medway User Groups took the chance to show how vital the Medway Centre is to the community and Moor Centre offered the judges a little light refreshment.
Huntingdon Community Group stole the show with their African dance offerings, but Oxmoor Community Action Group and Oxmoor Opportunity Partnership united to show their community spirit.
The results that the judges saw on Tuesday, July 15, are the fruits of 12 months of labour and everyone at Oxmoor would like to thank the service providers, in particular Huntingdon District Council, for providing trees, plants and conservation work and Luminus Group for their work with residents of all ages.

>> Sawtry has high aims this year for the annual Anglia in Bloom competition. After snatching silver gilt two years in a row for the small towns category, the village has rallied with sights set on gold.
This year's entry, put together by the parish council, focused on recycling and sustainability.
The local schools lead the way on this topical drive, but the village took care to highlight its wealth of natural assets including the large woods that sit on Sawtry's doorstep.
The colourful route taken by the judges when they visited on Thursday, July 17 wound from the day nursery's willow snail, via the bog at the infant school and the gardening club at the juniors before ending up with the college's eco action team. They also took in some formal gardens, self-sufficiency gardens and the Greenway shops.
Judges finished their tour surrounded by displays of Sawtry's other green wonders. Sawtry tree warden Janet Spencer said: "We were out to wow them this year."
Parish council members Stephen Custance, Mick Rayson and Dawn Quince accompanied them on their tour.

>> Everyone from Brampton – from tiny tots to pensioners – worked together this year to impress the judges as they reached the latest stage of their Anglia in Bloom trail.
Residents have mown, sown, grown and recycled throughout the town, in efforts to present it at its best to the judges.
Innovative projects including the memorial garden and walk in the playing fields and a new sensory garden at Brampton Primary School were on show last Tuesday (July 22).

The tour started at Brampton Memorial Centre before continuing on to an exhibition at the community centre which included artwork by children on the theme of Brampton in Bloom and a photographic display.
The exhibition finished with a prize-giving for the gardening competitions sponsored by Frost's Garden Centre and the art and environment competition sponsored by Good People Recruitment Ltd.

>> This year is the first time Godmanchester has entered the small town's section of Anglia in Bloom.
The Anglia in Bloom judges visited on Monday (July 28) where they were welcomed at Queen Elizabeth School by John Thackray, chairman of the committee before being given a tour of the In Bloom projects and displays.
They walked to the Godmanchester osier bed, after which they took a tour of the town by car, visiting local schools, the Park Lane nursery, the allotments, the winning garden in the front garden competition and some of the residential homes.
In 2012 the town celebrates the 800th anniversary of Godmanchester's charter.

In preparation, residents will be carrying out projects including hanging baskets on the Causeway; tree planting with the assistance of the RSPB; new flower beds at the Rectory Gardens and MacCartney House residential homes.
In the front garden competition 18 gardens were shortlisted. The Mayor's Shield, donated by last year's mayor Cllr Malcom Cohen, was awarded to winners Bernard and Rosemary Lemmon.
Both schools in town have been involved – pupils have helped plant out Rectory Gardens and create an area for bluebells in St Mary's churchyard.
Financial support has been given by Godmanchester Town Council and Godmanchester Community Association.
