Despite the poor weather and growing conditions we still attracted a good number of entries, with 207 entries in the Garden Produce and Flower sections and 136 entries in the Home Baking and Craft sections. The Childrens section attracted 25 entries. Therefore resulting in a total of 368 entries.

Guisborough in Bloom

Flowers on Westgate

Guisborough in Bloom continues to work in partnership with the Town Council to provide flowering baskets for the lamp columns and the Basket Tree in the key areas of the town.

Through funding received from Guisborough Market Town Partnership we have been able to locate 'Flower Fountain Planters' in Chaloner Street and Fountain Street. Thanks must go to the staff and pupils of Askham Bryan College Guisborough Centre who have donated the plants and created a wonderful display.

If you have any ideas or are keen to get involved then please contact Pandora Kilby, Secretary, c/o the Town Council Office.
