5 men, 10 days and 600 floral displays can only mean one thing......... Truro in Bloom 2009!
Richard Budge, Parks Manager, and his team from the Truro City Council Parks Department have set about this year's task of decorating our city with another delightful array of floral displays.
Some 300 additional hanging baskets and floral displays have been put out around the city since 2008 and new displays for 2009 can be found along Morlaix Avenue and in Green Street, Quay Street, New Bridge Street, Victoria Square, River Street and Kenwyn Street.
Truro is a regular entrant in the Britain in Bloom contest, which aims to find the country's most florally attractive towns and cities. Businesses around the city are encouraged to give backing to hanging basket and bedding displays, which make Truro's centre one of Cornwall's most attractive.
The City is no stranger to winning silverware, which is reflected in the wonderful displays in the parks and gardens, and you can be sure that this year the City Council's Parks Department will be putting every effort into securing another prize.

City unites to munch the Big Lunch 17 July
Truro's residents and workers are being encouraged to sit down and break bread together as Lemon Quay is being transformed into a picnic area for the Big Lunch.
Totally Truro Business Improvement District (BID) is getting involved by staging a Big Lunch on Friday, July 17, to attract the business community and residents to enjoy lunch together.
Neil Scott, BID manager for Totally Truro, said: "The Big Lunch echoes exactly what we are working to achieve with the Business Improvement District - encouraging our community to work together, share and make the most of our beautiful city."
"We have a fantastic array of food and drink producers, retailers, restaurants and cafes in Truro so this is also an opportunity to showcase what's on offer.
"We'd like to see everyone come on down on July 17 and meet their neighbours over a tasty lunch."
A designated picnic area will be set up on Lemon Quay with stalls and opportunities to buy locally produced food.
