FLORAL COMPETITIONS 2009

Through your efforts and enthusiasm as a community, you help to make Bournemouth a more pleasant and beautiful town to live and work in.

Many of us spend those endless hours nurturing our plants, tending our lawns and gardens, patios, hanging baskets as much for the personal pleasure we get in doing so.

For others it may be the joy and satisfaction to be gained from creating a habitat that encourages the wild birds and animals into your own back gardens.

Nursing and Residential Homes, Warden assisted homes, Hospitals and other “community establishments” all appreciate the benefits to their residents and visitors through creating a more colourful and interesting environment.

Commercial establishments, especially the Hospitality sector, too appreciate the benefits in making the effort to florally enhance their premises.

In the Public Sector, our children can benefit through projects in their schools – what an important sector of our community they are.  After all, they are our future, I hope more schools will get involved in the competitions this year.

We have an enormous variety of competition categories and we hope this year will see a record number of entries.

• All competition entries, which should be visible from the road (unless otherwise stated), are judged throughout the summer months.
• The judges consider the colour theme, quality of design, variety of plants and standard of maintenance as well as first impressions.
• The Prize giving Ceremony is held at the Pavilion on 13th October 2009 – GOOD LUCK!

Please complete the entry form by 30th June and send to:
