- The Story So Far<br />
2016 - Millennium Green shrubbery.<br />
Over the years <strong>Liphook</strong> in Bloom has often entered regional<br />
competitions and won many awards as well as organising local<br />
competitions. A presentation evening was held in the autumn to<br />
award trophies and thank everyone, especially the sponsors and<br />
helpers for their support. However, these competitions involve a<br />
huge commitment from volunteers and currently the <strong>Liphook</strong> in<br />
Bloom team are focussed on maintaining the very high standard<br />
of planting in the beds, containers and baskets throughout the<br />
village. Recent innovations have included the planting of wild<br />
flowers and a shrubbery on the Millennium Green. In 2016 we<br />
held a very enjoyable social evening as a thank you for the<br />
continuing support from helpers and sponsors. This year there<br />
are plans for a very special Birthday celebration.<br />
2007 - LIB win a <strong>Community</strong> Involvement Award for work in<br />
Radford Park.<br />
An annual photographic record has been made showing <strong>Liphook</strong><br />
blooming at its best during the seasons and also includes<br />
photographs of The Team at work, projects undertaken etc.<br />
These albums are available for all to peruse and can be found<br />
in The Heritage Centre. However, under no circumstances must<br />
they be removed. Details of <strong>Liphook</strong> in Bloom activities and<br />
thousands of photographs can also be found on our website<br />
www.liphookinbloom.co.uk and our Facebook page.<br />
Maintaining the Christmas lights.<br />
1999 - Jan and Tony Roles with Infant school decorated wellies.<br />
There is very little ‘down time’ in our calendar. When we are not<br />
gardening we are maintaining and erecting the Christmas lights.<br />
It was <strong>Liphook</strong> in Bloom who instigated the poppies on the<br />
lamp posts for Remembrance Day.<br />
The aim of <strong>Liphook</strong> in Bloom is to<br />
make the area attractive for all to<br />
enjoy whether they are local<br />
residents, those who work here or for<br />
people visiting the Parish. We hope<br />
to bring a ‘feel good’ factor to<br />
everyone and make them smile.<br />
