Britain in Bloom
As local authorities gear up for Britain in Bloom judging, Windowflowers have been busy installing ever greater numbers of hanging baskets on Britains lamp columns. Our hopes rest with Richmond on Thames who are in the national finals, where we have hundreds of hanging baskets and planted troughs.
In the past, judges have been particularly impressed with the troughs of flowers on the railings outside Twickenham and Richmond Station which have somehow escaped the vandals and continued to bloom through the year.
Best of luck to Richmond uopn Thames!

They will be in place until October when they will be replaced with Autumn baskets planted with cyclamen, solanum and pansies
