An elongated summer of floral delights allows an extended celebration of brilliant park blooms.
A complete feast of colour on our fabulous park that can be appreciated by everyone.
Arrow Bank Champs
Hester & Neville Haywood may be relative newlings to Arrow Bank but they’ve certainly managed to make a colourful mark on the park in a very short time. From a modest garden back home in Northamptonshire, where they kept floral displays to a minimum, they’ve excelled themselves here creating a riot of colour amongst the caravans.
Inspired by Jo, our in-house gardening guru, the purchase of some big pots at the Eardisland village community shop led them to a floral shopping spree! With Aldi geraniums and some nemesia from Lyonshall nursery and anything else that caught their eye, they were soon on a journey of bedding mania.
Hydrangeas, begonias, dahlias, petunias and pinks, they’ve worked hard to create a spectacle that passers-by can swoon over. A huge variety of different shapes and sizes emerged over the season and there’s even a bird bath so the growing numbers of feathered friends can settle in too.
Neville claims to be an expert in keeping maintenance to a minimum and has a few tips for fellow park gardeners.
“Don’t overwater and express yourself in your display, mine is ‘where life feels right’, it’s the parks motto and it’s very true”.
A very big thank you from Hester & Neville for the kind comments, support and encouragement of passers-by that have made their summer (albeit slightly damp) at Arrow Bank.
Pearl Lake Posies
Another prize winning spectacle surrounds the holiday home of Max & Gillian Granger on C54 at Pearl Lake. A prime position in the centre of the park allowing everyone to enjoy their fabulous floral displays.
According to wife Gillian, her husband Max is definitely the gardener, they don’t have a big garden at home but do have a nice pool complete with 3 tier fountain and hexagonal summer house built by the man himself.
It’s surrounded by some colourful specimen trees and lots of shrubs which makes it low maintenance allowing them to spend more time at Pearl Lake.
Throughout their 9 years on park they’ve always had window boxes on the decking. Usually with just red geraniums in, but this year they pulled out all the stops adding blue and white lobelia for the coronation. There’s evergreen jasmine in the corner of the deck and climbing clematis on the trellis. Pretty pots surround their caravan with bay, roses, mint, parsley and hydrangeas.
