Green-fingered work has taken root in the village – and earned a Britain in Bloom Award.
Flaxby secured no fewer than four out of five roses.
This is a tremendous achievement given the short time in which a committee could be formed, and volunteers were able to spring into action planting and watering flowers, and sprucing up the area.
The transformation has seen new planters made by Simon Meynell bursting into colour around the village and the grass triangle trimmed, dug, and planted. The project has also seen the noticeboard and bench refurbished and re-stained, kerbsides cleared, and much litter picking along with cleaning of road signs.
Residents also got to work enhancing areas around their own homes and gardens, which boosted the work to show off Flaxby to its full.
Congratulations to our neighbours in the parish at Goldsborough for securing five roses.
The Britain in Bloom campaign is the largest of its kind in Europe. Judges visit participating locations in spring and summer.
