Crosspool’s Blooming Displays 

A huge thank‑you to the Crosspool Forum for brightening our Precinct with planters and hanging baskets this summer. From neat arrangements around the big tree to full cascades of colour in the planters, your creativity has turned our neighbourhood into a cheerful patchwork of blooms.

It’s the small touches that make the biggest difference, hanging baskets and carefully tended planters in the precinct and outside the Crosspool Tavern, together they lift the whole area and show the pride we take in our community.

Massive thanks to Steve and all the gardeners, waterers and quiet behind‑the‑scenes helpers; your efforts are noticed, appreciated, and admired. Your dedication shows, and our community is all the brighter for it.

The photos below, taken over the summer, show some of the dozen hanging baskets and four planters in the precinct at Crosspool.

Entering the Lord Mayor’s Sheffield in Bloom for the first time this year, Crosspool Forum’s impressive displays were successful in winning the Community Silver award.

Our thanks go to Norton Nurseries for making up such vibrant and spectacular displays, and Streetforce for maintaining them so admirably throughout the summer.

Funds allowing, and with the help and support of precinct businesses and shops, Crosspool Forum will be aiming for gold in 2011.
