A Ripon student's floral design has been turned into reality at the city's Spa Gardens.

Evie Wood, 17, won a competition open to schools across the Harrogate district to design a floral tribute to King Charles III.

It was organised by the now-defunct Harrogate Borough Council in conjunction with local In Bloom groups.

The winning Ripon entry was assessed by the council parks team and Ripon in Bloom.

Ripon Grammar School pupil Evie has now seen her winning entry translated from paper to flowerbed by the council’s parks team.

Evie, who plans to take a degree in fine art, said:

“I am very interested in the design side of gardening.
“I knew the flowers that I wanted to incorporate and the colours I wanted to use and so I just went from there really. It was so nice to see the flower bed I designed come to life as I didn't expect it to, so it was a really nice surprise!"
