Floral Displays
Seasonal floral displays in parks including the badge bed at Peace Memorial Park, cemeteries and the golf course are carried out by grounds maintenance.
Floral displays such as hanging baskets, troughs and tubs are organised by Client Services in conjunction with Pride of the Borough.
Sponsorship of these displays is becoming an increasingly popular way of businesses supporting the Borough’s entry into East Midlands in Bloom as well as improving the look of the Borough which in turn helps boost trade.
Available for sponsorship are hanging baskets, floral tubs and basket trees in each town centre, borough entrance signs as well as beds in parks. Please download the sponsorship form from the attachment section above.
