Shrewsbury announces its intention to enter the Britain in Bloom competition this year.
After a year out due to staff shortages, plants are being grown in preparation for displays and hanging baskets to be put around the town.
The town council's horticultural manger Dan Powell said the competition, marking its 60th year in 2024, was the "pinnacle" of what they were aiming for."What we're aiming for is obviously gold... so that then proves what we're doing is recognised by judges country-wide and it's just another feather in our cap really," he said.
The plants are grown in three growing zones inside a greenhouse which was the size of a football pitch, he said. "We've got several members of staff who've been here close to 40 years, so we've grown up with that standard and obviously that's what we're looking to maintain year in, year out."
