North Notts BID is delighted to launch North Notts in Bloom – a scheme to ensure that our area is clean and welcoming and a nicer place to work, live or visit.
Retford in Bloom has run for the last three years in the town centre, but this year North Notts BID is expanding the scheme and developing an 'in bloom' package for the whole of the North Notts area.
The initial pilot is being run in Retford, working in partnership with Retford Business Forum and the Retford Civic Society, with sponsorship from Icon Aerospace Technology and Traffic Labour Supplies Ltd. Working with new partners, Acer Landscapes, we aim to make our towns look colourful, vibrant and well-presented.
The BID is working with Worksop, Harworth and Tuxford to tailor the 'in bloom' packages to meet individual needs and we also have plans to look at how we can improve the entrances and approaches to the industrial areas.
The Retford scheme includes:
- Hanging baskets packed with quality plants.
- Weekly watering.
- Installation of brackets if required.
- St George's Flag.
- Union Flag.
- Christmas trees with lights.
Further details relating to Worksop, Tuxford and Harworth to follow.
The North Notts BID sponsorship reduces the full price for the bloom pack from £225 +VAT to £125 +VAT, making a saving of £100 per package purchased.
To access this BID Member Deal fill out the North Notts in Bloom order form then post or email the form to Acer Landscapes, contact details are stated at the bottom of the form.
