A TOTAL of 163 summer hanging baskets have now been sold to residents and businesses in Henley.
Henley in Bloom launched its annual campaign, which is supported by the
Henley Standard, three weeks ago.
Windowflowers, of Burnham, supplies the baskets and is now planting them up ready for installation in late May and early June. The company will also maintain them all summer.
This year’s plants will include pink and purple fuchsias, verbenas, pelargoniums, surfinias, petunias and calocephalus.
The colours are designed to celebrate life returning to normal after the coronavirus pandemic.

A VOLUNTEER litter-picking scheme in Henley has exceeded expectations.
Organisers had hoped that between 30 and 50 people would sign up for the Henley Wombles initiative, in which residents clean up the areas around their homes at least once a month.
But after launching with just eight helpers in March, there are now 70 covering every part of the town.
They include all ages, from children and teenagers to elderly and retired people, some of whom fill up to six bags of rubbish in a single trip.
Many said they joined after reading about the launch on the front page of the
Smart look for Henley s streets for summer );
HENLEY should be looking its very best this summer.
The streets will be clean and filled with hundreds of colourful hanging baskets as the town prepares to welcome back visitors after the coronavirus lockdown is hopefully fully lifted next month.
Scores of volunteers nicknamed the Wombles have spent the past two months clearing roads of litter and will continue over the tourist season.
Both residents and businesses have been buying the baskets, which will be filled with summer plants and will go up from the end of this month.
In addition, the town council is in the process of cleaning the streets, which will continue for several weeks.
