Greenwich Council has announced the return of its annual competition, “Greenwich In Bloom”, which aims to encourage local residents to brighten up their gardens and local environment.
If you’re a resident of the borough of Greenwich, you can enter your green-fingered creation in the following categories:
- Category 1: Front gardens with colourful summer plants
- Category 2: Front gardens with best landscape design and creative use of plants
- Category 3: Best back gardens with creative use of colour and plants
- Category 4: Colourful window boxes and hanging baskets
The Mayor of Greenwich Councillor Allan MacCarthy, said, “The annual Greenwich in Bloom competition is an excellent way to encourage residents to take care of their garden and other green spaces in the borough while also raising awareness about the importance of working together to protect the local environment. The competition has grown in popularity year after year and I look forward to seeing the great selection of entries on offer this year.”
Entry forms are available from Greenwich’s libraries, community centres and most Council buildings, and can also be downloaded from the Greenwich Council website at www.greenwich.gov.uk
