Kendal In Bloom
Kendal in Bloom
Kendal will be judged by Cumbria in Bloom judges on Tuesday 13 July between 10 am and 1 pm. The judges will take a tour of the Town's shopping centre, residential and commercial premises, church grounds, parks, allotments, community gardens, recycling centres, domestic gardens and local businesses.
Kendal residents and businesses are asked to help keep the town tidy picking up any litter and putting in the litter bins. Shops to also water hanging baskets and tubs to give the flowers a boost before judging.
Unannouced judging for each category is taking place between 28 June to 9 July. Prizes and certificates will be presented to the winners at the Kendal in Bloom Awards evening which will be held on Thursday 26th August at Kendal Town Hall.
Local shops and businesses have been approached to join the Buy 1 Hanging Basket, Get 1 half price offer. The uptake has been tremendous and will certainly brighten up the town. For further information and an order form click here.

In 1999 the Town Council reinstated its Kendal in Bloom competitions and they have grown year on year in terms of the number of competitors who have been attracted to enter. 2006 was a particularly memorable year with Kendal being awarded first place in the Cumbria in Bloom competition for large towns and in 2007, 2008 and 2009 we won a Silver Award for Best Large Town/Small City in Britain in Bloom.
