Anglia in Bloom Tree Planting - Spring Launch March 14th 2011 Halstead, Essex
Halstead the Towns Community entry in the 2011 Britain in Bloom Competition, hosted and supported Anglia in Blooms spring campaign launch by planting a Silver Birch tree sponsored by Barcham Trees
Julia Smith Chair of Halstead in Bloom organised the event with a fantastic turn out from the community including Halstead in Bloom volunteers, The Mayor of Halstead, Halstead Town Councillors, Halstead Youth Council and members of Braintree District Council.
Anglia in Bloom Executive members joined in planting the tree and then Chairman Bob Ollier, Vice-Chairman Brian Thornton and Chair of Judges George Dawson took a trip up the Crows Nest on nearby play equipment to view the crowd and newly planted Silver Birch.
During the Summer Anglia in Bloom judges will be out and about visiting villages, towns and cities in the region assessing their entry in the 2011 campaign. Entrants will be judged on their efforts to promote sustainability, their involvement with the community, care for the environment and horticultural excellence. The winners in the various categories will be announced at the grand awards ceremony to be held in September this year.
Bob Ollier Chairman of Anglia in Bloom, said:
“Anglia in Bloom is the Eastern regions unique environmental community initiative and is an exciting and rewarding experience for all involved. Taking part builds community relationships and makes a significant difference to the local environment. With the tree we planted we look forward to sustaining our growing and continued community initiative”
