A Bloomin' Brilliant Year

Fabulous floral displays across the country have seen Continental Landscapes win a number of Britain in Bloom Awards this summer, despite the drought.

A slow start to the summer saw delays in the flowering of many sites around the country, a warm June brought many colourful buds out of hibernation but a record-breaking July led to water shortages and scorched lawns.

"It's great news all round," said Nick Broad, operations director. "Our teams prove time and again what they are capable of and it's always good to be recognised for this by an outside body such as Britain in Bloom." Continental Landscapes works alongside excellent horticulturalists and in partnership with other parties to achieve awards such as this.

"Making usually dull areas, such as roundabouts, attractive is important to people who pass those areas every day and there is an element of local pride, and rivalry, as to who lives in the best town. People living in an area maintained by us can feel confident that their locale will be among the best in Britain and these awards prove it."
