Silver Gilt for Tenbury

Tenbury Wells, Tenbury in Bloom 2009 have been awarded a Silver Gilt medal for the floral and general presentation of the Town. Judging which took place earlier this year, concluded that Tenbury was only a few points short of the necessary points required to win Gold.

The judges were disappointed that so few retailers (6) in the Town had made an effort to dress their windows for the occasion. It was also noted that very few retailers had taken up the offer of having their shops decorated with the specially designed blue and white bunting produced by the high school even though this was offered to them free of charge.

Tenbury dresses for Gold

A number of shops were dressed today with specially commissioned bunting designed and made by Pupils at Tenbury High School. The blue and white theme was chosen by Tenbury in Bloom to commentate the 100th anniversary of Guiding in the UK. Book bunting for Books Books Books and Candy for the Little Sweet Shop.

Mean while the Tenbury in Bloom group held a coffee morning in the pavilion whilst the judges toured Tenbury.

Planters and hanging baskets have been installed all around Town by the Tenbury in Bloom group and various borders, such as those outside the swimming pool in the Palmers Car Park have been renovated and replanted.

Its a Blue Summer for Tenbury

After the cold blue Christmas lights in Teme Street this Winter, Tenbury will also be going Blue this summer, with all the Planting in the Planters and Hanging Baskets being themed to celebrate the Centenary of the Girl Guide Movement.
