Welcome to the Hillsborough in Bloom website. A place to catch up on all the action happening in our area. We are proud to announce that we won the Silver Rose award in our chosen category of Urban Community.
The judges said:
"What enormous strides this community has made since we visited them in the spring! The judges were extremely impressed by the many improvements and achievements accomplished by Hillsborough in Bloom in their first year. The growing involvement of residents, of groups in the walled garden, of the schools and of youth groups is excellent. Hillsborough in Bloom is set to grow from strength to strength."
We are now hoping for volunteers to come forward to be part of the Bloom 2010 planning group - if you would like to be a part of a winning team whatever you have to offer please contact us!
Well done Hillsborough from the in Bloom team.
First Judging took place on 1st April and the sun shone on the judges as they toured the area, taking in places and spaces from the College to the Park to community managed green space.
There is lots happening in Hillsborough over the next few weeks, as you will have seen we have negotiated the now complete repainting of Walkley Lane Bridge and coming soon is the installation of the wrap around planters along Middlewood Road, Hillsborough will very soon be even more blooming marvelous!
