“Dorking in this its 400 year association with the Mayflower and the Pilgrim Fathers have pulled out all the stops in this very special year. The community has been encouraged to play their part and all of the various events and features that Bloom represents have been done very well. The documentation is very informative and provided much of the information needed to confirm the status of Dorking in this years “desktop challenge. It is without doubt that should Dorking wish to continue with Bloom into next years competition (fingers crossed) and with a little more attention to the Bloom criteria a higher award would be very likely. This is not a criticism as for a first time entry this award is almost unprecedented and Dorking is to be congratulated on a superb efforts to celebrate such as moment in time in Dorking’s history. Therefore as a first time entry South & South East in Bloom is very pleased to award a high Silver Gilt Award.”
