Welcome to the Catkins!

January 19, 2011

Winter is still here and we’re looking forward to the snowdrops – but the cold and snow have put them behind and there’s none in bloom quite yet. Never mind, these hazel catkins at the Quarr Local Nature Reserve remind us that spring is on the way and the town can bloom again!

South West In Bloom
This year the town was unable to compete in the South West in Bloom competition, after reaching and maintaining the highest standard of excellence winning four GOLD awards over four consecutive years; bringing to the town the highest accolade it can gain. There is much hope that next year the town can rejoin the competition and go one step further and reach the national UK Britain in Bloom finals.
