Bedding Display

Sponsored by:-yes

2007 brought a new concept to Southport Flower Show with the launch of our new Bedding Display Competition.

4 open air flower bed areas were created in a prime location, giving local authorities and businesses alike an opportunity to showcase their expertise, highlight the talents of their parks and gardens teams as well as promote their region from a tourism perspective.

We would like to thank S&G Flowers for sponsoring this new competition, highlighting their commitment to both horticulture and the development of Southport Flower Show.

We believe that this area will create a lot of excitement and enjoyment for future shows and hope that with your support we can build and develop this competition for the future!

For more information on entering this year's competition please ring Clare Mason on 01704 547147 or email clare@southportflowershow.co.uk
