Southport u3a once again built a beautiful show garden at the 2025 Southport Flower Show and was awarded a Gold Prize for the outstanding garden.

The garden was based on the theme of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using reclaimed materials including robots, drones and a diverse range of plants in blue, white, orange and pink. The garden had talking trees and using the QR codes on the trees visitors were informed of the many benefits of trees in enriching the environment. The North West Region Council Representative, David Blanchflower, was an invited visitor to the garden and is pictured with the chair of Southport u3a Christine Howorth holding the prize cup.
