The summer flowers around the base of The Cross have been provided by the volunteers from Tewkesbury in Bloom over many years as a tribute to our servicemen and women, past and present, on behalf of the town's residents and businesses. The flowers are sourced locally from Brian William's nursery, and include either petunias, pelargoniums or begonias. Brian also cares for the flowers, regularly watering, feeding and deadheading to ensure the town puts on a good display.
This year the team from Tewkesbury's newest town centre inn, The Cross House Tavern, have generously made a donation to guarantee the flowers for 2020.
"We wish to thank Laurence, Catherine Ali and Tracey from Cross House for their support and generosity in helping to fund this project. This year especially as many ceremonies have had to be cancelled such as the VE day commemorations and Armed Forces Day celebrations its important more than ever that the town organises this important tribute", comments Shelby Powell
