Ross-in-Bloom have just been notified that the Heart of England in Bloom Judges, supported by the Heart of England Tourist Board, will be visiting Ross-on-Wye on Tuesday 17th July.
This is one of the main events for the town, and gives everyone a chance to show Ross off to its best advantage.
Margaret Lucas Chair of Ross-in-Bloom said, “Everyone is asked to pull out all the stops and sure Ross is clean, tidy, litter and graffiti free and florally enhanced throughout the year. However, this one day focuses the mind on these matters and gives an excellent ahead of the major summer season to. The town colours this year are Red White and Blue so perhaps everyone can also put out bunting for the summer months, including this event and for the carnival. Lets make Ross a town to remember for 2007”.
In 2005 Ross gained Gold in the Heart of England in Bloom campaign. Due to lack of volunteers the town could not enter, but are back this year with a guns and watering cans blazing.
The local competition short listing will start during the last week of June, with the main judging taking place during July and into August for some of the more specialist competitions.
It is hoped to hold a Charities Market for the day on 17th July if there are enough stall holders available. If anyone raises money for a charity and would like to have a stall, please contact Mary Powell at the Heritage Centre for details. Forms will also be available from Margaret at Lucas Motorcycles.
