The University of Surrey was established on 9 September 1966 with the grant of its Royal Charter, but its roots go back to a late 19th-century concern to provide greater access to further and higher education for the poorer inhabitants of London.

Now an intrinsic part of Guildford life making a substantial contribution to the town.
Schools in Bloom Sponsor
My family has owned and managed Clandon Park Garden Centre, Guildford for over 20 years, since 2003. We were delighted to acquire our Woking site from Wyevale in July 2019. With two sites we decided to give one name across both. It was not hard to settle on Edwins, after my grandfather. He had a love of nature and a fascination with plants. He shared with me his amazement at the intricacies and complexity of plants, of their beauty and extraordinary artistic detail. He taught me how to care, nurture, feed them, to enjoy the work yet tranquility gardening offered. He used to say, “Nature is truly amazing. Take time to watch it grow and enjoy its delights”.

After 14 years of experience working in residential property sales, lettings and homesearch, I founded my business in 1999, as I wanted to share property options with clients with a simple and common-sense approach.
I live in Ripley, a lovely village North of Guildford. It is a great location for me to access the M25 and beyond, the A3 and South and to reach both London Heathrow and Gatwick airports within 30 minutes.
My office is my car as I am seeing property every day and work evenings and weekends, to accommodate busy business owners and homeowners.

Category Sponsor - Best Wildlife Garden
Over the last few decades, 11% of Surrey's native species have become extinct. Despite being the most wooded county in England, our biodiversity loss rate is higher than the national average.
To combat this decline in local wildlife and plant species, the Local Nature Recovery Strategy will be launched in 2024. In the meantime, we are exploring ways in which we can halt, and ideally reverse, this alarming decline.
