  The Cheshire West and Chester Council display which has won Gold at the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park

Cheshire West and Chester Council has won a coveted gold medal at the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park.

The seven metres by four metres display is based on Chester Zoo's Ark logo and has won one of only three golds in the RHS Ball/Colegrave National Flower Bed Competition.

The flower bed containing, amongst others, marigolds, begonias and lobelia, was created over a three day period by eleven staff from across the Streetscene service. 

"This award is truly wonderful news - my admiration goes to all the team" said Environment Executive Member Councillor Neil Ritchie.

"It takes a rare combination of flair and skill to win a gold and this is a landmark achievement for everyone involved."

"The planting took place over a very tense three days in sometimes horrendous windy and wet conditions in order to ensure that the display was ready for judging."

"The team's tenacity, skill, commitment and expertise shone through on the day and they should be justly proud of their magnificent achievement."
