I'm Part of Bury in Bloom 2008

NEW GREEN FINGERS and Young Green Fingers

( CLICK HERE  to view the school Young Green Fingers page )

Last year Bury St Edmunds  was named 'Best Large Town'  in the United Kingdom at the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom awards. To achieve this accolade the Britain in Bloom judges not only viewed the Abbey Gardens and the town centre but also people's front gardens, local allotments and community projects - such as schools.

 

It is to encourage participation in these areas that the Bury in Bloom Green Fingers competition exists.

Here is what you need to do

Have a look at the 3 sections under here and decide which categories you want to enter. You can enter as many as you like. The competition is free - thanks to our generous sponsors. Fill in the form you may have already, or you you can download one here:  DOWNLOAD FORM.

19 Northgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1HP

People's Projects

9 Residential home: do residents and visitors have an outdoor setting to enjoy?

 

10 Neighbourhood/Street: Does your street sparkle?

 

( Perhaps a group of residents or a few local neighbours or even one individual has done something to improve their immediate surroundings. Judges will be looking for ongoing improvements and commitment - not necessarily a complete project.)

 

11 Improving the Natural Environment (group project)

 

( Cheering up forgotten flowerbeds, neglected pathways, overgrown alleys. or taking part in a larger project for regeneration. Again - judges will be looking for improvements and commitment - not necessarily perfection! )
