Windermere Town Council

 

Windermere In Bloom Competition

 

Trophy Winners

Each year, the Windermere Town Council holds a "Windermere In Bloom Competition" which is open to all businesses, private dwellings, and Community Amenities within the Parish of Windermere.  This competition enables businesses and private households to show off their horticultural skills, not only for their own enjoyment, but also to make the area more enjoyable for the holidaymaker and the locals.

The hanging baskets that are attached to various lamp-posts throughout the village were done by Horticare of Kendal.  During 2011, a further number of the hanging baskets have been sponsored by local businesses at the suggestion of the Windermere & Bowness Chamber of Trade and it is hoped that this will be repeated in 2012.

This years' Award Ceremony attracted over 120 residents, business people, Councillors and other interested contributors.  Mr Steve Tatlock from the National Park gave a short presentation on the WinderClean and Community Litterpick and outlined the plans being prepared for the future of these events.  This was followed by Mr Leslie Johnson who gave a short address on behalf of Cumbria In Bloom.

The Awards Ceremony took place on the 6th September 2011 at the Hydro Hotel, Bowness.

In 2010, a new innovation has been tried in that concrete rings have been planted up and placed at various strategic points throughout the Parish.  These have been at Troutbeck Bridge, Ellerthwaite Square and the Railway Station.  The ones at this last venue have been sponsored by Lakeland Ltd.

 

The awards ceremony took place on the 14th September at the Hydro Hotel, Bowness.
