Councillor Jack Dunn, Leeds City Council’s lead member for parks said:
“We are extremely fortunate to have so many local businesses, groups and organisations in communities’ right across the city who love to keep their premises and surroundings looking so lovely, and it is fantastic that their efforts are recognised through the Leeds in Bloom awards.
“The entries we received really were top notch, and I would like to thank everyone who entered and for all of their hard work throughout the year, which deserves great praise.
“The ‘in bloom’ network in Leeds continues to move from strength to strength, and I look forward to seeing more people and groups and organisations getting involved and taking part in the future.”
As part of the awards, groups were recognised with a range of spring and summer in-bloom medals ranging from gold, silver, bronze and highly commended.
