The annual competition, organised by Louth Town Council, aims to beautify the town by encouraging floral and planting decorations of all kinds so that residents and visitors alike can enjoy the delights Louth has to offer.

Judging took place back in July, with the winners being notified the following month - but the big awards ceremony, presented by the Mayor of Louth Councillor George Horton, took place last Tuesday evening (October 2). There were six classes:.
