Blooming good Southampton
8:50am Friday 30th July 2010 in
JUDGING has begun in this year’s Southampton in Bloom competition.
Judges and committee members gathered to compare notes on the 186 entries aiming to bring a splash of colour to the city.
The recent dry spell has been bad news for gardeners though and a number of entries have been removed this year because of parched lawns and wilting plants.
Southampton in Bloom co-ordinator Hilary Bradley said: “We will be making allowances this year as we had a harsh winter and a cold spring, and for the considerate conservation of water.”
