Iris sibirica 'Bracknell' - a new logo for Bracknell Flowers!
Our new locally significant logo is a stylised image of Iris sibirica 'Bracknell'. Whilst not widely cultivated it is grown within the Borough by members of the Bracknell Forest Garden Club, at Lily Hill Park and has been grown on Windsor Great Park. The name of the campaign has also changed this year, it is hoped that these changes will help to create a stronger and more local brand image for our entry into the regional Britain in Bloom competition.
