Awards have been scooped across the district in this year's Yorkshire in Bloom Competition.

Today children from Haworth Primary School were celebrating after their gardening club won the Sir Richard Graham Youth Enterprise Award.

Displays in Ilkley, Bradford city centre, Keighley and Addingham have bowled over the judges.

Lister Park gained a certificate of merit. The 53-acre site has had restoration work costing £4.2 million done in the last four years.

Last year it won the national Green Flag award for quality and the British Association of Landscape Industries prize for construction.

This time the park, with its 120-metre long Mughal water garden, has been given a certificate in the tourism section.

The trophy winners are:

l Ilkley, for the best spring and summer displays in the small town category and overall entry winners

l Darwin gardens in Ilkley, which won the Millennium Project Trophy for the second time

l Haworth Primary School; and

l Addingham, for best spring display in a small country town

Certificates of merit were awarded to Bradford in the large city and city centre section and Keighley in the town centre award category.

And Bradford Tradesman's Homes and Bradford Interchange won certificates in the charitable establishments and commercial award categories.

Executive member for the environment Councillor Anne Hawkesworth said: "These awards are a tribute to the work and enthusiasm of scores of people, including the Council's parks and landscapes staff, the Ilkley in Bloom Committee, the Darwin Gardens Trust and local businesses.

"I am especially delighted to see that the gardening skills of children from Haworth Primary School have been recognised with a prestigious Yorkshire in Bloom trophy. It's a terrific achievement."

The Lord Mayor of Bradford Councillor Allan Hillary said: "I am thrilled to see the district pick up so many prizes at this major horticultural celebration.

"Each year volunteers, businesses, local groups and the Council together put in an enormous amount of work to create wonderful floral displays across the district and these awards recognise their efforts."
