Darley Dale in Bloom
Darley Dale in Bloom win Silver Gilt this year!
Two of the Darley Dale in Bloom committee travelled to the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield last month to receive the news that the group had been awarded a Silver Gilt certificate this year in the East Midlands in Bloom competition. While it was disappointing to drop down from the Gold that had been awarded for the last three years, the committee were delighted that a richly deserved Judges' Award had been made to Chris Townsend and her volunteers for the Peace Garden at St Helen's church in Churchtown.
The results were announced to a packed audience of town councillors, representatives of the local business community, schools, other organisations, volunteers and supporters at the Darley Dale in Bloom Celebration Evening at the Whitworth Centre on 26 September. After a presentation of the group's work,including mention of the proposed Sensory Garden in the Whitworth park, the Silver Gilt certificate was presented to Mary Myers, the Mayor of Darley Dale and Chair of the Town Council and the Judges' Award to Chris Townsend. The chair of the DDiB committee, Barbara Newton, also read through the judges' recommendations and appealed for any help with areas such as the group's Facebook page and website, and taking photographs of the beds and other displays, events etc throughout the year.
The autumn bedding is now in place and the group are hoping for a good display throughout the winter and spring to provide some welcome colour to Darley Dale. Planning for the Sensory Garden in the Whitworth Park is progressing well and the planters should be in place soon. An arch is going to be erected at the main entrance into the garden, and the roses donated our twinned town of Onzain, planted there.
Get ready for Christmas with a fundraising Christmas wreath making session at 2pm on 28th November at Forest Garden Centre in Two Dales. Tickets are priced at £10, which includes materials and light refreshments, and are available from Caroline Dale-Leech at Red House Stables.
