Working with local partners and young people in our community to enhance the quality of life and create better and sustainable environments in the historic Royal Burgh of Forres.
Forres is a traditional market town with a rich cultural and environmental history and a wealth of architectural buildings both on the high street and around the town. Central to the town are Grant Park and Cluny Hill, with lovely woodland, well maintained open spaces for informal activity, and high quality seasonal planting schemes providing wonderful colour throughout the year.
Led by the Forres in Bloom group, the whole population is fully committed to enhancing the quality of life for visitors and residents through environmental improvement schemes and keeping the town spotlessly clean at all times.
The magnificent floral displays together with the beautiful Grant Park contribute to the Jury's decision to award Forres medals.
Forres in particular, with its amazing floral bedding and high level of community involvement, ticked all the boxes to gain a top award.
A huge thanks you to everyone who worked so hard to help us achieve this tremendous accolade.
