A COLLEGE for people with disabilities is celebrating after a floral creation by students won a best in show award at the Gateshead Summer Flower Festival.
Students at Finchale College, in Durham, also won a gold award for their design Hell to Heaven.
College spokeswoman Lynn Guthrie said: "It was designed by students on our horticulture course and represents the journey the students take from when they join our college until when they leave and join employment.
"All our students are disabled with either physical, mental health or medical issues. This depicts the barriers they face, the challenges they overcome and positive changes made in gaining independence.
