Fareham in Bloom Community Gardening competition
Fareham in Bloom is a community gardening competition for residents of the Borough to gain recognition for your horticultural efforts and your contribution to making Fareham a brighter and more beautiful place. All entries are based on individual merit and awards for Bronze, Silver, Silver Gilt and Gold are presented September. If you haven't taken part before, why not give it a go?
