Looking forward to sunnier times ahead Tenby in Bloom are re-launching their annual schools’ sunflower competition this week.

Originally organised by Tenby Playgroup, the Tenby in Bloom committee took over the running of the popular competition a number of years ago and have been out and about dropping off seeds, pots and compost at Tenby Primary, Hafan-y-Mor and St Teilos schools this week.

The competition is open to all playgroup age children with the winner receiving the Tracy Hartland Memorial Trophy.

Children are encouraged to grow their sunflowers at home during the summer months and then return photographs to the schools by the beginning of September for judging by the Bloom committee.

“We’re so glad to be back on track with our Bloom activities, albeit in a small way to begin with,” said Tenby In Bloom chair Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane.

“I think we all need some floral cheer after the last year or so, watch this space for the re-launch of our annual main competition very soon.”

Clr. Mrs. Lane and fellow committee member Clr. Mrs. Tish Rossiter were on hand this week to drop off seeds, pots and compost to Mrs. Becky Dilks at Tenby Church in Wales Primary School to launch the competition.
