Bournemouth in Bloom 2007

Loraine Willson does a fantastic job organising Bournemouth in Bloom each year. This year’s competition is just starting. Below is the entry form for anyone who would like to enter.

Walking around the ward (admittedly normally delivering leaflets) we have some super gardeners, it would be good to see more entries from Littledown and Iford this year.

l FLORAL COMPETITIONS 2007

Welcome to the Bournemouth in Bloom Floral Competitions

Through your efforts and enthusiasm as a community, you help to make Bournemouth a more pleasant and beautiful town to live and work in. Many of us spend those endless hours nurturing our plants, tending our lawns and gardens, patios, hanging baskets as much for the personal pleasure we get in doing so.

For others it may be the joy and satisfaction to be gained from creating a habitat that encourages the wild birds and animals into your own back gardens. Nursing and Residential Homes, Warden assisted homes, Hospitals and other “community establishments” all appreciate the benefits to their residents and visitors through creating a more colourful and interesting environment.

We have an enormous variety of competition categories and we hope this year will see a record number of entries. (Children are more than welcome to enter any of the categories). Certificates and prizes will be presented at the Presentation ceremony at the Pavilion on Tuesday 16th October, 2007.

All competition entries must be visible from the road unless entering RSPB or Environmental where appointments will be made.

Judging will take place once all entries are in, the judges consider the colour theme, quality of design, variety of plants and standard of maintenance as well as first impressions.


GOOD LUCK!
