The green-fingered winners of this year's Helston in Bloom competition were presented with their prizes during a ceremony at the Guildhall on Friday.
The third annual competition attracted a good number of entries in both private and business categories, and the standard of the displays led to some difficult decisions for the judges.
Choosing the winners this year were town mayor Nick Martin, Clenton Endean from the district council and Andy James from the county council.
A new category for local schools was introduced this year and the impressive trophy was won by Helston Community College horticulture students Nicholas Hann, Gary Knight, James Alderson and William Curtis.
It is hoped more local schools will enter the competition next year.
