Formby’s James Comish Triumphs at Centenary Southport Flower Show with Award-Winning Garden
Formby’s very own James Comish has made his hometown proud with an extraordinary sweep of awards at the prestigious 100th Southport Flower Show. In a landmark year for the event, James’s garden, aptly named "Southport of Yesteryear," captivated both visitors and judges, earning him multiple top honours and setting a new standard in garden design.
Designed in collaboration with Anthony Major, the "Southport of Yesteryear" garden is a nostalgic tribute to the town's rich history. The design masterfully blends historical elements with modern aesthetics, creating a space that is both timeless and inspiring. This artistic vision not only resonated with the public but also impressed the panel of judges, leading to James’s crowning achievement: the prestigious Southport Corporation Trophy for the Best Large Show Garden.
But the accolades didn’t stop there. James’s garden also secured The Brockhouse Trophy, awarded for the Best Show Garden overall. This recognition solidifies his status as a leading figure in landscape and horticulture, with a design that wowed both the judges and the public alike.

Rounding out his remarkable achievement, James was also awarded the Large Gold Medal, a fitting tribute to the high standard of excellence he brought to this year’s Southport Flower Show.
