Do you have a winning Garden in Bloom?
Does your front garden stand out from the crowd? Do you have blooming roses and beautiful flowering baskets that can be seen by people walking past your garden?
Then you could be acclaimed as having the best garden in your ward by entering the Royal Borough’s Garden in Bloom Competition.
The popular competition is back for another year and nominations are open now. This year, the competition is sponsored by Housing Solutions, Berkeley Group and Silva Homes.
As residents, you can nominate your own garden, a neighbour’s, or if you see another blooming garden, feel free to take a note of the address and nominate it. The only criteria is the garden can be seen from the pavement or road.
Nominations can be made here. All entries must be made before noon on 31 July. We prefer that photographs are uploaded alongside your nomination to show your garden at its best. Nominations can also be made by email or by post to “Garden in Bloom”, c/o Mayor’s Parlour, Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead SL6 1RF.
And don’t forget the Wildlife Gardens Awards!
This year, gardeners are encouraged to enter both Garden in Bloom and the separate Wildlife Gardens Awards, which is also open until 31 July and is organised by the local ‘Wilds’ volunteer groups. Their website also includes a checklist of 24 wildlife-friendly features, such as all compost used in your garden being peat-free.
