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
2015 Trophy Winners you
will see the various trophy recipients.
The hanging baskets that are attached to
various lamp-posts throughout the village were done by Continental
Landscapes of
Kendal.
A number of the displays are sponsored by local businesses. The Windermere
and Bowness Chamber of Trade is encouraging local businesses to
sponsor some of the hanging baskets. It is hoped that the number
of sponsors will increase year on year. The number of hanging
baskets have been reduced in favour of 'splashes' of colour at strategic
points within the area. These are along the railings at the
entrance to the Railway Station, along the A591 opposite the NatWest
Bank, the Baddeley Clock and Bowness Bay and Promenade.
 Windermere
& Bowness were not entered into the Cumbria In Bloom competition
for 2016.
The judging for
Windermere In Bloom 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.
