Village residents are celebrating the awarding of Gold in the RHS In Bloom campaign for the second year running. But even more thrillingly have been asked to represent the Heart of England region in next year’s UK finals. Volunteers heard the news at the awards event in Aldridge on September 15. Pebworth is currently the only village in Worcestershire to enter and its continuing success is down to the hundreds of hours of voluntary work put in by residents. Whether it be litter-picking, bulb planting, mowing verges etc or attending fund-raising events or supporting with donations or plants the community has worked together to achieve this fantastic result.
