Wolverhampton
Floral City Campaign...latest
Tourism chiefs
are calling on green-fingered residents and businesses to dig for
victory!
The team behind
Floral City - Wolverhampton’s bid for glory in this year’s
Heart of England in Bloom competition - say budding gardeners, community
champions and even amateur historians all have their part to play
in their quest for a gold award.
A panel of judges will descend on the city in July and the race
is on to ensure Wolverhampton looks blooming marvellous in time
for their arrival.
And so now
organisers are calling on the community to back the bid –
and get gardening.
Already on board
are Waitrose, which will also offer the judges a tea break as they
travel around the city, Enterprise, which will provide prizes for
the children's drawing competition and Sandy Lane Allotments &
Gardeners’ Association, which will hold master classes to
show beginners how to grow their own vegetables.
They are also
staging a veg-growing competition and will be providing sunflower
seeds for local schoolchildren to grow, with prizes up for grabs
for the tallest. Pupils can also take part in a poster drawing competition.
Wolverhampton’s
Heart of England in Bloom campaign was launched by popular historian
Professor Carl Chinn MBE in March.
Entry forms
are now available from the Civic Centre, Central Library and the
Visitor Information Centre, Queen Square, or from the website.
