Hamilton Gardens has received the prestigious International Garden of the Year award. The win was announced recently as part of the 2014 Garden Tourism Awards held at the International Conference Gardens Without Limits conference in Metz, France. The annual award is presented to gardens which distinguish themselves in the development and promotion of the garden experience as a tourism attraction.
Mayor Julie Hardaker said, “This is fantastic news. It puts Hamilton on the world gardens stage and I am sure the whole of Hamilton will be celebrating. It comes just as we start a major development programme at the Gardens which will increase the tourism options.”
Dr Peter Sergel, Director, Hamilton Gardens said, “Many local individuals and organisations have contributed to the creation of Hamilton Gardens, and this is some well-deserved recognition for what they have achieved. There is a lot more garden development still to occur and we’re constantly improving the way we do things. However this international award confirms we’re on the right track.”
