ARKLOW TOWN TEAM
ARKLOW BLOOMS FOR 2017 – FLOWER BASKET SCHEME
….
To enhance and improve the image of Arklow’s Main Street (Wexford Road to Lower Main Street) the Town Team proposes to introduce a Flower Basket Scheme for businesses in the Town. Research has shown that this type of scheme can bring many social and environmental benefits to a town. This project is being supported by Arklow Municipal District (AMD).
Businesses located out of the Main Town area might consider sponsoring a basket which could be erected on one of the unused buildings in the town.
Let’s make Arklow Bloom for 2017
For a contribution of €35 per basket participants in the scheme will receive the following:
- A fully planted 16” flower basket (with plant food and water crystals)
- Wall Bracket mounted on building by AMD staff
- Watering of baskets during the period June to September 5 times per week x 16 weeks, (3 times by a contractor engaged by AMD and 2 times by Arklow Tidy Towns). However, businesses are requested to supplement watering too.
