Tetbury in Bloom is an all-year, every year effort,
but as always we’re determined to have plenty of fun along the way.

Despite the fact we won’t be competing this year, 2012 will still be a busy year as we intend to maintain the high standard to which the town has become accustomed and to achieve this we need to raise funds.

Below are the events the team have already arranged and we’ll post details of other events here when we have details.

[ ] = already happened, you missed it!

March

 Hanging Baskets

Following the success of our new style hanging basket in 2011 we will be using the same again comprising trailing begonias in, pink, scarlet and apricot shades. The new style of baskets create spherical flower displays, and with a small water reservoir at their base, they will be less prone to drying out.

The cost of a basket is £30.00 and will be delivered during the week commencing 4th June.  Click here for an order form and send to the address below:

Sue Hirst, Tetbury in Bloom, 8 Springfields, Tetbury, GL8 8EN,

Or ring her on 01666 504213 E-mail: Sue Hirst for more details

Please join in and help us continue making Tetbury
one of the best small towns in the UK!
