Gold from Southport
Liverpool City Council's Horticultural Team from Croxteth Hall and Country Park, Green Hill Nursery and Sefton Park Palm House were successful at Southport Flower Show, winning a Large Gold Medal and the Christiana Hartley trophy for the finest display of specialist interest.
The display is based on the theme of water and performance.
The display includes a wide range of tropical plants, all grown in Liverpool City Council's glass houses, which are on display across the City, fabulous water features and jungle animals including a crocodile, gorilla, water hogs and snakes (all made from plant material).
Liverpool City Council's executive member for the environment, Councillor Berni Turner, said: "This is fantastic news and the team have worked tirelessly to make sure that this exhibition is perfect. To be awarded two top prizes at such a well known and prestigious festival as the Southport Flower Show is wonderful and raises Liverpool's profile."
The trophy and a photographic display will be on display at Croxteth Hall this Bank Holiday weekend.
