The
city
is
very
fortunate
in
that
it
can
boast
many
public
parks,
several
of
which
are
stunningly
beautiful
and
of
significant
national
historical
interest.
Whilst
some
would
benefit
from
an
injection
of
cash
for
improved
maintenance
and
restoration,
all
are
well
worth
a
visit.
In
2008
The
City
of
Nottingham
won
the
title
'Champion
of
Champions'
in
the
Britain
in
Bloom
Competition
and
the
gardens
in
many
of
the
parks
below
would
have
made
a
major
contribution
towards
this
achievement.
Some
of
the
lovely
2008
floral
displays
can
be
seen
in
photographs
of
Wollaton
Park,
Woodthorpe
Grange
and
The
Castle
by
clicking
on
them
below.
University
Park
of
which
the
Millennium
Garden
is
just
part,
also
won
the
East
Midlands
in
Bloom
Greenspace
Award
for
Horticultural
Excellence
and
also
the
Britain
in
Bloom
award
for
the
Best
British
Flowerbed,
Education
category,
for
the
north
entrance
floral
displays
but
unfortunately,
I
didn't
get
round
to
recording
these.
