Each year, the Windermere Town Council
enters the "Cumbria In Bloom
Competition" which embraces the overall picture of the Parish including
businesses, private dwellings, public spaces and community amenities.
For 2011 this has been re-branded "Cumbria In Bloom Pride in Your
Community."
The competition also looks at community
projects which benefit and enhance the area overall whether it is
maintained by the District or Town Council, a private individual or the
public at large; they aim for us to keep our areas clean, tidy and
attractive, thereby making for a better environment in which to live and
work and enter the "Windermere In Bloom" competition.
There is also the added bonus of making
the area attractive to visitors in the hope that they and their friends
will return in the future.
The Windermere Town Council have entered
under the "Town" category and judging took place in July 2012. Windermere & Bowness,
were aiming to win this
category for a fifth time, having already won this award 4 times in a
row.
The categories for judging are:
Section A - Horticultural Achievement.
Section B - Environmental
Responsibility.
Section C - Community Participation.
A number of local schools have entered the
"Schools Gardening" competition and throughout
the year, have been undertaking projects that fall under one or more of
the above categories. The schools in question are:
| School |
