BILLINGSHURST ‘IN BLOOM’ LOCAL COMPETITION – 2023

The Parish Council is delighted to once again be holding its own local ‘In Bloom’ competition . In previous years, the competition proved very popular with local residents. Please note: This year we are offering a new category for the ‘Best Pollinator Garden’. If entering this category, the entrant’s garden will also be judged on its biodiversity in providing nourishment for our pollinators. This may include a few daisies or clover left to grow in the lawn, or planting which would specifically appeal to insects, birds, butterflies and mammals. To enter, please complete the form below and return it to the Parish Council Offices by Thursday 29th June. Our judges will then travel out and about over the course of the month of July, and awards will be presented at the Billingshurst Centre in September. You can enter no more than three categories, and all displays must be visible from the street. Each entry will be judged on Impact, Care and Attention and Horticultural Content. However, you don’t need to be Monty Don to enter, so if you enjoy pottering, and it looks good, please have a go and enter! All those who enter will be invited along to a glittering awards ceremony at the Billingshurst Centre in September!
