Royal William Yard has once again proven its flower-power credentials, scooping GOLD at the 2025 South West Britain in Bloom awards.

The prestigious win celebrates the Yard's continued commitment to creating beautiful, thriving outdoor spaces that bring together stunning horticulture, heritage architecture, and community spirit.

Judges recognised Royal William Yard's exceptional floral displays, environmental initiatives, and its role as a destination where nature and people flourish side by side.

A standout feature of this year's entry was a spectacular floral display planted into the bank near Firestone Arch, spelling out '200' in celebration of the Yard's 200th anniversary. The eye-catching tribute combined horticultural artistry with a nod to the Yard's rich heritage.

This year's triumph is made even sweeter as the Yard also contributed to Plymouth Waterfront BID's GOLD award success, demonstrating the power of collaboration in creating world-class blooming destinations across the city's waterfront.

From vibrant seasonal planting to carefully curated green spaces that enhance the Yard's historic setting, the Britain in Bloom accolade is a testament to the dedication of everyone who works to maintain and improve this special waterfront destination.
