Flower power will be embraced in Northwich once again this summer after the Northwich Business Improvement District (BID) entered the town into two categories of the North West in Bloom Awards.

Northwich will be looking to scoop the top prize in both the Large Town and BID sections of the competition after receiving a Silver Gilt in the same two categories in 2018.

For this year’s entry, the Northwich BID will be working with a number of partners across a range of initiatives to impress the judges who will be awarding points within three themes; horticulture, environmental impact and community engagement.

These include Love my River’s floating habitats, yellow fish schemes and rainwater gardens, promoting wildlife friendly school grounds and meadows at Kingsmead Primary School and the construction of raised bed planters by residents at Anderton Place.              

From Monday 22^nd July, St Paul’s Square will be the location for a Sensory Garden too and entries have been made in the ‘It's Your Neighbourhood’ competition which comprises projects at the Lion Salt Works Butterfly Garden, Grozone, Transition Streets Northwich and Kingsmead Primary School.

The judges will be visiting Northwich on Tuesday 30^th July. Head to the Visit Northwich website for more information.
