JUDGES from Royal Heart of England in Bloom visited Stroud last Tuesday.
They were given a tour of some of the prettiest areas in Stroud beginning at the Walled Garden at the Museum in the Park.
There were many more stops on the tour including the gardens at Stratford Park and Stroud General Hospital.
The judges were looking for horticultural excellence, community participation and environmental responsibility.
Results will be announced on September 14 during a presentation event at Warwick Castle.
