Judges awarded the BIOME Silver Gilt prize in the Town Garden section

The BIOME, Wolverhampton College's garden entry into BBC Gardeners' World Live 2000 at the NEC, Birmingham (14-18 June 2000) was awarded top honours at the show in the Town Gardens section, with a Silver Gilt prize. Only missing out on the coverted Gold prize by a few points..

The BIOME attracted a lot of attention during the construction stage with several celebraties, press and television organisations visiting it.

The BIOME-Dome was developed by Darren Rudge & Wayne Pope, City of Wolverhampton College, D.Ponton and Andrew Ball, for the BBC Gardeners World Live 2000, organised by The Royal Horticultural Society
