Bloomin’ Marvellous Efforts!

Harborough’s In Bloom volunteers haven’t let the coronavirus pandemic stop them making the town look good.

Volunteers are having to do all the watering themselves this year

Despite having to cancel their plant order and watering contract in March, when the lock-down came into force, and adhering to social distancing rules, they have rallied round to put up displays in the town centre, including using plants grown in their own gardens.

Barbara Tallis is chair of the In Bloom volunteers:

This year’s East Midlands In Bloom competition – which Harborough won a Gold award in 2019 – was cancelled because of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, there is also praise for staff from Harborough Council’s contractor, FCC Environment, for their efforts in making Welland Park look so good.
