Yorkshire In Bloom award for York St John University's Grounds team

Congratulations to York St John University’s grounds team who have achieved a gold award in the Yorkshire In Bloom competition.

The University was one of only three to get the top award in the Universities, Colleges and Further Education Establishments category.

The competition report included the judges’ comments which described York St John University as an “exquisitely and incredibly well maintained site” looked after by a “dedicated and skilled team.” It also notes how floral displays are themed to “complement the textures and architecture of the buildings.”

Colin Parkin, Director of Estate Management and Development, said: “This fantastic, well deserved award is testimony to the hard work and commitment of, under Rob Scott’s excellent leadership, our highly skilled team.  Well done!”
