Sponsors & Supporters

We now have new sponsor signs on most of the baskets and planters.  The 3 big planters near Cossons and the 2 smaller ones near Peacocks are proving a bit tricky as the signs we generally use won’t stick to the surface so we need to think of an alternative. The 3 big planters near Cossons are looking very pretty now as we replanted them with plants given to us by Perrywoods BHN garden centre. The bees are loving the Nepeta and the Verbena Bonariensis. These plants should over winter and come back bigger and better next year. We will also be improving the planting in the 2 smaller planters in a couple of months time as we still have over half of the £1000 given to us by Perrywoods to spend on sustainable planting. 

Wickford in Bloom is looking for local businesses and residents to sponsor the High Street baskets for the coming summer.  In 2024 we had over 40 sponsors and we are hoping to do even better this year. The baskets will be £130 each inc VAT and each basket will have a sign underneath giving the name of the sponsor. The baskets usually go up at the end of May but it is weather dependent.  To sponsor a basket or ask for more information please email our treasurer Louise Petley on wickfordinbloom@gmail.com.
