Windermere Town Council

Windermere In Bloom Competition

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.

By clicking on 2008 Trophy Winners you will see the various recipients and photographs of the participants.

The hanging baskets that are attached to various lamp-posts throughout the village were done by Horticare of Kendal.  This year 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.

Following on from the Windermere In Bloom competition, the Parish is entered in the Cumbria In Bloom Competition. 

The judging of the various categories is carried out during the month of August by members of the Council, the public and invited guests.  These judges have a wealth of horticultural knowledge and expertise.

The winners and their guests are invited to attend a "presentation evening" at one of the leading local hotels where they receive their Gold, Silver or Bronze awards.  The Gold Award winners also receive a trophy which have been donated by many of the local trade associations, including the Chamber of Trade, and local businesses.

For further information on both competitions, please contact any member of the Windermere In Bloom Competition Advisory Group.
