Our Community Gardening Competition

"Fareham In Bloom" is a community gardening competition for the residents of the Borough to gain recognition for their efforts in horticulture and their contribution to making Fareham a brighter and more beautiful place.

 

To assist entrants and judges the following notes are provided to ensure continuity and fairness through the judging of the numerous categories.

 

The competition aims to be both light-hearted and recognise the efforts of individuals whose passion for plants and gardening really makes a difference. All entries are based on individual merit and awards for Bronze, Silver, Silver Gilt and Gold are presented at a presentation in September - so if you have not taken part before then why not give it a go.
