Flower-power Elgar rides into town
Posted by volresource on 8 May, 2008
If you are into gardening as well as cycling, you probably are interested in the Spring Gardening Show this weekend, watching it on TV even if not going along. This year, make sure you check out Gardeners World (Fri 9th May, 8pm and available online afterwards) as they check out Great Malvern’s first attempt at a floral window display competition, Blooming Hills.
Riding High Gallery put together a floral cyclist delivering “Elgar’s Picnic” on the old grocers bike which lives outside the shop. (I guess this isn’t actually meant to be Elgar - no moustache!) Proprietor Mike Austin was interviewed by Joe Swift for the programme.
NEWS UPDATE: Mike and Mel won this inaugural Blooming Hills competition, with the Van Gogh display at the gallery and Flora, the lifesize floral female put together by the hairdressers being runners-up.
