We have made the finals!

Bury in Bloom is back – we have made the finals in the 2022 RHS Britain in Bloom competition. RHS Britain in Bloom – is back for 2022 and Bury in Bloom have made the finals of the UK’s largest community gardening competition. We hope to wow the judges with our efforts to improve Bury St Edmunds this summer.

Groups from all four nations will compete in one of eight categories and we hope to secure a much sought after RHS gold, silver gilt, silver, or bronze awards – No pressure then!

David Irvine Bury in Bloom Coordinator said: “We’re excited to make the RHS Britain in Bloom UK Finals for the first time since 2018 and with a noticeable increase in people looking to get involved in community gardening in recent years its would be a great time to shine a light on the benefits it is already having’’.

He went on to say, “We’re up against some tough competitors from Cumbria to Cornwall and Blackburn to Sevenoaks and with the Queens Jubilee and Abbey 1000 celebrations taking place so 2022 will be a busy year for Bury St Edmunds”.

The Britain in Bloom judging follows closely behind the Anglia in Bloom judging that takes place in July which includes the Bury in Bloom ‘Certificate of Merit’ also known as the Front Garden Competition. July is going to be hectic!

Finalists this year will be judged according to updated criteria that will help us to consider sustainability issues that are becoming the main motivations for participating in the Bloom campaign.
