Felixstowe Town Council organises and funds the displays but the whole community contributes towards to making Felixstowe a more beautiful place by participating in our free to enter competitions. Prizes will be awarded at the Felixstowe in Flower Awards ceremony in September for the best gardens, allotments, floral containers, commercial premises, residential homes, public houses, hotels and guest houses. Our thanks once again to the East of England Co-op Funeral Services who have provided grow bags and sunflower seeds to all the local schools and seeds for children to enter our ‘tallest sunflower’ challenge.
Why not sponsor a floral display? Many of the hanging baskets, tubs and troughs which are put up throughout Felixstowe and Walton are being sponsored by residents, local businesses and organisations – see all those who have sponsored thus far on our ‘Wall of Fame’ at the launch event – and new sponsors are always welcome.
The cost of sponsoring a hanging basket on a lamp column is just £50. Larger tubs and troughs are £65 each. This represents excellent value for money as the cost covers the purchase, installation, maintenance and watering of the displays over the whole summer plus the name of the sponsor so all can see who is supporting the event!
