Holbeach in Bloom members are making an all-out effort to become one of the best kept towns in the East Midlands.
Hanging baskets, litter picks and new plants around the town, with help from other community groups in Holbeach, are all part of a plan to strike gold in this year’s East Midlands in Bloom competition.
Residents can also get involved in a wider campaign to improve the town’s appearance by entering the group’s Best Front Garden competition to be judged in July and August.
Graham Rudkin, chairman of Holbeach in Bloom, said: “We’re trying to get the whole community of Holbeach involved in the competition which has been running for some weeks now.
“It’s open to any garden in Holbeach and we’ll be giving out vouchers to be used in local shops as prizes to try and support businesses in the town.”
The community effort has been backed by Holbeach Community Action Group, formed shortly after the Trannsported arts project was launched in the town last month.
Dave Hudson from the action group said: “We intend to work with other organisations that are active in Holbeach and, as such, the group has been assisting Holbeach in Bloom in the run-up to judging for East Midlands in Bloom.
“Holbeach in Bloom has put in a huge amount of time and work and they are an inspiration to us all.”
