Heywood
in Bloom
October
The team of Heywood in Bloom has been busy
organising its 2017 garden competition. We have
had the pleasure of visiting some beautiful gardens
across Heywood. The winners have been chosen
with vouchers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and a
certificate for each entry.
New planters have been purchased ready for next
year and we are looking at the best places to
position them. The new planters will be sponsored
by local companies along with some of our other
planters which are already being sponsored. We
are also in talks with a large local business who are
interested in completing a project we have chosen to
complete next year.
This year’s entry into North West in Bloom was
bigger than ever, we had several new entries to our
judging route. The results will be over three days at
Southport, Wednesday 1st to Friday 3rd
November with results being announced on the day.
Last year we obtained 12 awards overall several
being top awards of Gold Standard. The award of a
Gold Standard for Heywood, TOPS, The Industrial
Park and Queens Park made it all worth-while.
New entries this year are now looking forward
excitedly to the results, we welcomed another
primary school and another care home to our route.
The children are now getting ready to choose who
goes to collect their award. We are putting together
the list of names to attend at Southport and getting
our stall ready for the Friday event.
