Lyn in Bloom

In this area, we rely very heavily on our visitors to bring money into our community, by staying in our hotels and guesthouses, eating in our restaurants and buying from our shops. Most of the jobs in the area are directly related to tourism, in one way or another.

If you arrive in a town or village and you see beautiful containers and hanging baskets full of brightly coloured flowers on buildings, in car parks and along streets – then you know it is somewhere, which is well cared for, where people care about the area and really love it.  It gives a feeling of wellbeing and happiness, people feel comfortable and safe and this in turn makes them want to stay.

However, it is not just about our visitors, making our villages look amazing is great for everyone who lives here too.  The baskets and containers really lift the spirits and make people smile – that has to be a good thing, doesn’t it?
