Blenheim’s Seymour Square wins international award
Blenheim’s Seymour Square has received a prestigious Green Flag Award, endorsing it as one of the best green spaces in the world. The award scheme is an international quality mark for parks and green spaces, administered here by the New Zealand Recreation Association.
Marlborough District Council Parks and Reserves staff, who look after more than 250 parks and reserves across the region, were absolutely thrilled to receive the recognition. It’s the first time Council has entered the competition and it’s hoped the win will bring new visitors to Seymour Square’s beautiful gardens.
