1 2 5 - Helen (5th Jun 2011 - 23:17:57) Just wondering what does the 125 stand for in the flower bed opposite Sainsburys. Obviously 125 years of something, but what?

Re: 1 2 5 - Lesley (6th Jun 2011 - 08:55:11) Its to mark the 125th year of the Bramshott and Liphook Horticultural Society. Can you recognise the shapes that have been planted up? Come to our 125th Summer show at the Church Centre on 23rd July and see some of what we do. Free entry and plants, home made cakes and tea for sale plus a raffle. Opens at 2 ends around 4. Every one welcome and if you want to enter anything then contact on lesleyhollands@hotmail.com

Re: 1 2 5 - liz (6th Jun 2011 - 08:56:33) I have no idea, but with appologies to Liphook in Bloom who do such a wonderful job for the village I think the numbers look a mess not to say extremely naff. Here's hoping they disappear so we can all enjoy the beautiful flowers!

Re: 1 2 5 - Helen (6th Jun 2011 - 12:52:44) Liz I find that a mean remark, i like the look.

Re: 1 2 5 - liz (6th Jun 2011 - 13:15:04) I don't think its mean to say you don't like something.

Re: 1 2 5 - Katy (6th Jun 2011 - 17:47:57) Helen, glad you like the numbers, Liz sorry you don't. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time! The design was made by the horticultural society to celebrate the anniversary of their 125th summer show this year. The plants were supplied by Liphook in Bloom and planted by some of the members of the horticultural society. The society are also making a financial donation to help support Liphook in Bloom for the great work they do. I am sure they would welcome more funds too if anyone can help. The design of three carrots is meant to bring a smile to people's faces and promote the horticultural society too. The numbers were carved by chain saw and are meant to look rustic./natural It is almost impossible to spell out numbers with flowers as they grow and loose the design shape. I hope you like the orange and purple colours, again designed to be bright and cheery (possibly too brash for some but hey ho!!!!) Still, I am so pleased you have all spotted the planting and have enjoyed reading the comments (good and bad). Best wishes to all the locals that enter Liphook in Bloom week and please keep supporting the team that do a brilliant job. Katy

Re: 1 2 5 - Thomas (6th Jun 2011 - 18:23:12) Liz, were you born bitter????????? Do you actually get involved in making anything good in the village or contribute or do you just moan about almost anything & everything, next we will be reading its too hot outside, its too cold outside, its outside outside blah blah blah... Alot of people put a lot of effort into making Liphook a fun & enjoyable place, but, hey ho, as the saying goes, every village has one.......... I think the flowers look good and a smart move,

Re: 1 2 5 - liz (7th Jun 2011 - 08:21:03) Good grief Thomas get a grip - I only said I didn't like a few pieces of wood! Glad you liked the flowers, if you read my post you will find I did too.

Re: 1 2 5 - Debbie (7th Jun 2011 - 11:16:19) Oh dear here we go again! I was always taught from a very young age "If you can't say something nice don't say anything atall". Having said that if you ask for my honest opinion ie "Does my bum look big in this" you'll get an honest answer!!!

Re: 1 2 5 - Dave (7th Jun 2011 - 12:08:23) Debbie - yes, you're bum does look big in that.

Re: 1 2 5 - Debbie (7th Jun 2011 - 12:59:51) Dave! How very dare you! I might be able to dish it out but I can't take it and you have deeply offended me ;0)

Re: 1 2 5 - liz (7th Jun 2011 - 13:00:24) I don't ask 'Does my bum look big in this?" because I have some very honest friends.
