Virtual Fareham in Bloom – voting deadline extended for one more week!

A total of 155 entries were received for this year’s Virtual Fareham in Bloom. The event has been so popular that Fareham Borough Council has decided to extend the deadline for voting until the 13 August.

Green fingered residents have submitted their entries in six different categories:

Best Garden – A garden of any size, front or back
Commercial – Shop fronts, pubs, businesses and schools
Something Small - Hanging baskets, window boxes or unusual garden features
Community Floral Display - Your street, community centre or sheltered housing grounds
Young Green Fingers – Something the kids have planted or grown
The Edible Garden – Growing your own produce at home or on your allotment.

You can vote in as many of the categories as you wish and there are two ways to do this:

Through the Council’s Facebook page, where you can simply ‘like’ your favourite image for each category
Using the online voting form at www.fareham.gov.uk/inbloom

Winners will receive a prize, which has been kindly donated by St Margaret’s Nurseries or Westbury Manor Museum.

Executive Member for Streetscene at Fareham Borough Council, Councillor Ian Bastable, said: “We have been so impressed with the standard of entries this year, it is really clear to see how much hard work people put have put in. We have decided to extend the deadline for voting by another week to ensure that even more people have a chance to pick their favourite. I encourage people to head to our website or Facebook page and get voting!”
