Over the last few days, 150 hanging baskets and 40 window boxes full of flowers have been put up around Wimborne ahead of this year’s competitions. These augment the summer planting, which took place at the end of May when over 80 wooden barrel planters and flower towers were filled, all ahead of the local and regional ‘in Bloom’ judging.
The Annual Wimborne in Bloom Local Competition will take place during the week commencing Monday 18 July. Competition entry forms are being delivered around the town but additional copies are available from the Tourist Information Centre and The Library.
There are categories for everyone to enter and prizes to be won. They include Best Front or Back Garden, Best Hanging Basket, Best Display of Hanging Baskets or Window Boxes, and Best Shop Window Display with the theme ‘A Minster Town’, also for Best Public House, overall outside display.
The organisers say please do not think your garden, window box or basket is not good enough…if everyone thought like that they would have no entries! Last year there were around 100 entries and it would be good to have that number again. Do have a go and get into the spirit of this local competition. Entries need to be returned by Wednesday 13 July.
Judging in the Regional South and South East in Bloom Competition will take place on the morning of Monday 4 July when the Town will be judged in the Small Town Category.
Please help to keep the town extra clean in the coming weeks in the run up to judging. Supporters of the ‘In Bloom Campaign’ will be carrying out a litter pick of the town on Sunday morning 3 July. If you can help please meet at 34 Park Lane at 10am on the day.
