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.
