Here you can see the collections that have been awarded the Bristol in Bloom winner for eleven years running. The crescent shaped herbaceous border should be at its’ peak in September but there are always gardening highlights at this botanical treasure!

A delicious cream tea and the chance to listen to some gentle music will round off the event. All for just £10; tickets only available direct from Bristol Zoo.

As an added incentive, Cleeve Nursery will be offering 15% discount on a range of gardening products on their stand there. Of course there will be the usual free gardening advice from us too!
