A pub garden in Uppingham, which started off as a lockdown necessity, was presented with its Gold award last night
from the East Midlands in Bloom competition. The team at Uppingham in Bloom, who helped with the project were there to join in the celebrations at the Exeter Arms. The Uppingham team find out how they've done in Britain in Bloom this coming Friday. Alex Woods from the Exeter Arms in Uppingham says although the project was born out of necessity, it's very much part of the pub now.
‘We've been here a couple of years and the dreaded COVID hit, so we all had to spread out. So we commandeered our car park. I mean to start with, it didn't look like it did this summer. It was just indoor furniture, outdoors and everybody bought into the idea, but we knew that if we were going to maintain it post COVID we have to try a little bit harder with it. So we've turned the car park into a pub garden and it's sort of worked. Also, under pressure of being quite a beautiful part of the world. So if you're going to make people sit in a car park, you gotta try that little bit harder’.
