Bracknell

Launch of Bracknell Flowers 2008 at South Hill ParkFlower power is set to give Bracknell a boost as it prepares to enter this year’s Britain in Bloom 2008 competition.

With a selection of creative floral displays to spruce up the town, the Bracknell Flowers campaign was officially launched on Monday (June 2) at South Hill Park. The aim is to regenerate the local environment through the imaginative planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping.

As part of an on-going commitment to protect and enhance Bracknell, the project is organised by Bracknell Forest Borough Council and Bracknell Regeneration Partnership.

With a focus on making Bracknell town centre and its surrounding villages bright, vibrant and beautiful, Bracknell Flowers aims to impress representatives from the Royal Horticultural Society, who will visit in July to judge the town’s entry.

Helen Barnett, marketing manager for Bracknell Regeneration Partnership comments: “At Bracknell Regeneration Partnership we are delighted to be taking part in the Bracknell Flowers campaign once again. Great pride is taken in our flowers to brighten the borough and maintain the environment. Everyone works extremely hard and we are looking forward to impressing the judges again this year.”

Steve McKenna, Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s landscape manager adds: “Every year we make every effort to ensure Bracknell’s entry is bigger and better than the previous year. This year is certainly no exception and we hope to repeat our continued success.”
