WAREHAM'S green-fingered plant lovers are celebrating once more after scooping a prestigious national prize.
The town has been awarded a silver medal by the Royal Horticultural Society at the Britain in Bloom awards.
It follows a gold medal at the South and South East in Bloom earlier in the summer and tops a great year for the town.

A year of planning by volunteers led to the success and Wareham was the only town in Dorset to be entered.
Judges visited the town to check not only flower displays, but also landscaping, cleanliness, environmentalism and conservation.
Wareham in Bloom committee chairman, Cllr Eric Osmond, thanked all who helped achieve the award.
He said: "Particular praise goes to local Wareham nurseryman Jorge Annaheim, following on from Wareham's separate nomination for Best Floral Display - one of only four towns in the whole of the United Kingdom to be nominated and a credit to the quality of his plants."
The Mayor, Cllr Malcolm Russell, will formally present the silver medal to the Wareham in Bloom committee at a town council meeting on Tuesday, October 28.
