2010 Harrogate in Bloom Spring Business competition

The expansion of the Harrogate in Bloom Spring Hotel competition to include all businesses (hotels, offices, retail & commercial premises) continues to attract new entrants. The 2009 winner was the New Inn on Otley Road

In 2010, again all entrants will be judged against a set standard and could win a Gold, Silver Gilt, Silver or Bronze Award, with the overall winner receiving the Silver Bowl trophy at the Awards' evening at the Old Swan Hotel in September.

Closing date for entries: Wednesday 31 March

Judging will take place w/c 12 April, weather permitting!

“First impressions”: the size of your property doesn’t matter. Only the garden area between the street & building will be judged. It is how you have used the space available, including baskets, window boxes, containers etc, that will count

Judges will be looking for:
- a good first impression and overall design
- planting which is appropriate in colour and scale to the surroundings, with summer interest
- containers (if any) of appropriate size and style
- paving, paths etc (if any) which complement the surroundings and are well maintained
- plants which are in good condition, apparently disease free and well maintained (dead-headed, watered, pruned, etc)
- the whole area should be well swept & litter free
