Blooming marvellous
6 July 2007
The visually-stunning showcase centrepiece is built in the shape of two cyclists and will be placed proudly against the backdrop of the London Eye in Belvedere Road – one of the main routes of Stage 1 of the Tour de France – this coming Saturday and Sunday.
The unique display has a special irrigation system built into the bike frames which water the flowers and incorporates forklift points to facilitate transportation. After the Tour de France, the full display will be put in front of the London in Bloom judges before being whisked off to the Lambeth Country Show and then placed in each of Lambeth borough’s town centres as a lasting legacy for everyone to enjoy.
Dave Williams, Veolia Environmental Services’ parks operations manager, commented: “This is a special, one-off display and really lets people know what we’re capable of doing. Particular thanks must go to Robert Allan and Robert Presnell for all their hard work and incredible efforts in putting this fantastic display together.”
