Allerton Bywater Silver Gilt Rose Award
Introduction
What a difference a few months can make, the judges were delighted to see the
improvements across the entry.
Section A: Horticultural Achievement
Areas of Achievement
Colourful seasonal and sustainable displays through the village, some to note are
Highfield Hill and the new beds complimenting the existing herbaceous border and
mine cars, maintained by Peter & Ian, window boxes outside Edward Vll WMC, the
Meadows, and the incredible planting on the banking alongside the footpath looked
after by Roy. The gardens at St Mary the Less looked after by Sue were outstanding
and the colourful bed outside the pharmacy maintained by Gail & Michelle
Residential gardens were good throughout those to note were the Main Street,
Meadows cul- de - sac, Vickers Court.
Areas for Improvement
The banking at Ticklecock Bridge, consider future planting such as sustainable ground
cover which will reduce maintenance and improve the overall appearance.
Section B: Environmental Responsibility
Areas of Achievement
The ingenious scheme to collect grey water from the Miner’s Memorial on the
Millennium Green.
The works carried out at the Lines, Ticklecock Bridge area and the mining memorial
all serve as a strong reminder of Allerton’s heritage.
The entry was spotless throughout and planters had been improved since spring.
Areas for Improvement
Continue to work towards the future plans for the Allerton Staithes and Old Pottery site
development. 38
Section C: Community Participation
Areas of Achievement
The excellent standard of vegetables, fruit and herbs at the allotment, and the new
cottage garden area was stunning, and plans for the entrance will make a welcoming
feature.
The children's poster competition down at The Meadows, a lovely idea to get local
children involved in the In Bloom, and a scheme that can be built on for future. The
winning poster to be used for next years In bloom publicity.
Support from local business's including Valentines, and Papico's to note.
Areas for Improvement
Keep working with the Head at the local primary school to find ways in which they can
get involved.
Good to see new members since spring, continue to encourage others.
