We have supplied a number of Garden Festival sites and in
1993 we were a co-ordinator of the Floral Flame at Manchester
Airport as part of the Olympic bid.
We were also the sole British company selected to supply
bedding plants to Euro Disney in Paris in 1992.
Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
We supplied the hanging baskets to Old Trafford cricket ground
for Summer 2005. The baskets’ contents included Geraniums,
Surfinia Petunia, Bidens, Bacopa and Lobelia. During the epic
third Ashes test with Australia the cameras zoomed in on the
display and the commentator attempted to name the flowers
– getting only Geraniums right – but full credit
to him for trying!
We also supply hanging baskets to Dukes 92 pub and the Castlefield
Hotel in the Castlefield basin, Manchester.
Manchester airport is a prominent customer for baskets, containers
and plants.
Crosby’s management play an active role in the industry
association.
Tatton Park Show.
The group won a bronze, two silver gilt and three gold medals
at the RHS flower show at Tatton Park since 1999.
The group’s ‘Snakes and Ladders’ display
was judged to be the best at Tatton Park in 2004 and was nominated
to compete with exhibits from the Chelsea, Hampton Court and
the two Malvern shows and Gardener’s World Live for
the national award at the NEC.
In 2005 the group won its third consecutive gold medal at
the RHS flower show for its Jigsaw Puzzle Garden display.
Also in the 2005 show, congratulations to Bury Metropolitan
Borough who won a Silver Gilt medal for their display, with
plants supplied by Crosbys.
For Bury Council, at the Tatton Park show in July 2007 we supplied the bedding plants for their ‘Just William’ themed display, the author being born in Bury. For this display Bury Council won the Silver Guilt Award.
