IT WAS a flower-powered tour of the county for Hereford in Bloom patron Lady Alexandra Cotterell and BBC Hereford and Worcester gardening guru Reg Moule.

They were motoring around Herefordshire this week for the final judging of the Herefordshire in Bloom Summertime Floral Competition.

Sue Chandler, head of promotions at The Hereford Times, has co-ordinated the publication of the competition in the paper and has been overwhelmed by the response.

Winners of all categories will be announced at the Awards Ceremony and Gardeners Question Time at Wyevale Garden Centre, Kings Acre Road, Hereford, on Monday, September 22.

l A limited number of tickets will be available to the public. For details see next week's Hereford Times.
