The sun shone for most of our tour around the town with the judges. Everywhere looked good thanks to the volunteers who planted, weeded and picked up litter. What a great community effort by all the groups involved from nursery age through to senior citizens. The results will be announced in September.

The town is looking good with our volunteers working hard planting up beds, baskets, tubs and coronets.
We are grateful to all the sponsors that make our displays possible and are pleased to welcome new sponsors through our website.
On July 10th we will be escorting the Judges of the Heart of England in Bloom competition around the town. If you see us please give us a wave.

New tubs have been purchased and planted up with colourful flowers and are ready to be installed in the High Street in time for the Jubilee celebrations. Golden colours will feature in the majority of the displays this year to tie in with the Royal theme.

As part of Gloucestershire Highway's road safety scheme in the high street, several new planters and coronets will be added. This will ensure the high street is blooming in time for the town's Jubilee celebrations and the annual Medieval Festival which takes place in July. As well as flowers, the high street will be decorated with bunting and Medieval flags - making a trip into Tewkesbury very worthwhile.

We have a number of plans which we would like to implement as soon as possible, these include:
- Installation of two new flower beds at the entrance to Wynards Close
- More permanent planting in a bed at Newtown
- Identify an area which we can plant with wildflowers

Each year we work with a number of local primary schools and challenge them to plant up a wheelbarrow. This year the theme is bees & butterflies. Each wheelbarrow is collected and judged by the Heart of England in bloom judges.
