Caravanners planning a visit to the Top Lodge Caravan Club Site in Lincolnshire will be in for something of a visual treat when they arrive at their pitch.

The park has just won first place in the Caravan Club’s Sites in Bloom awards, the results of which were announced at the 2011 Boat and Caravan Show at Birmingham’s NEC.

Site owners Steve and Jan Rosam were presented with the Alan Payne Trophy for their efforts in creative horticulture (pictured below).

The Caravan Club launched the awards in 2003 to reward parks whose floral arrangements keep their grounds looking attractive throughout the year.

Commenting on Top Lodge’s labours, Mr Rosam said: “We wanted to create a visual welcome for members and visitors arriving on site.

“So we came up with the idea of planting a wall of flowers around the reception area, as well as coordinated colour-filled troughs and other naturalised containers around the site.”

Runners up in the competition included Chapel Lane Caravan Club Site in Warwickshire and Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site on Bristol’s waterfront.
