Pughs wins another medal

A Shrewsbury company has been awarded a prestigious medal for its charity garden efforts.

Pughs of Shrewsbury is celebrating after the garden it created for this year's Shrewsbury Flower Show scooped a silver medal - the third year in a row it has been recognised by the show judges.

Managing director, Peter Forrest, said: "We're absolutely delighted to have won another medal - it's fantastic news and we're very grateful to the judges for their seal of approval."

And even better, the award-winning garden will not go to waste, as now the show is over it will be dug up and replanted at Hope House in Oswestry.

Pughs, which is based in Longden Coleham, has previously donated one of its show gardens to Severn Hospice at Bicton Heath, and replanted another at its riverside offices in the county town.

They worked on the design and planting of the gardens for 2010 and 2011 with Andi Way from Boningale Garden Creations, in Albrighton.

This year's recipient of the show garden, Hope House, said they were very pleased to be chosen.

Gilda Davis said: "We're very grateful that Pughs have made such a generous offer. The garden will be in our courtyard which is an area of the hospice used for many play and fun activities."

Pughs of Shrewsbury was established by Jabez Pugh in 1890 and is now run by the fourth generation of the Pugh family.
