There are further smaller displays at other locations.\r \r Planting typically commences during the 1st week of June for Summer Bedding and the\r 1st week of October for Spring Bedding and is undertaken over three to four week periods. The Council's Open Spaces team carry out planting and maintenance across the District.\r \r Plants for spring bedding will be ordered by the end of May and plants for summer bedding will be ordered by the last week in October in each cyclic period. The Contractor will be advised of the exact planting dates for each planting period approximately one month before delivery, this will be dependent on growing conditions and how the current seasonal displays look.\r \r The contractor will be required to deliver all plants to nominated points throughout the District and timeliness of delivery is crucial.
