Gardening Competition

The gardening competition is one part (a small sprig, perhaps) of the Herne Bay in Bloom campaign. It's open to all Herne Bay residents and businesses. So if you live or work in Beltinge, Broomfield, Herne Bay, Reculver, Herne, Greenhill or Hampton, you can join in. There are categories for everything from a window box to an industrial estate, so everyone's in with a chance. You can put yourself in for the competition, or you can nominate someone else.

To enter, just fill in an entry form and choose your category, then return it by Thursday 10th June 2010 to any of these places:

• Herne Bay divisional Council office, William Street, Herne Bay
• Herne Bay Library, High Street, Herne Bay
• 97 Central Parade, Herne Bay

For all enquiries ring 07540 392916. The closing date for all entries is Thursday 10th June 2010, and judging will take place week commencing Monday 14th June 2010. There will be PRIZES GALORE, generously sponsored by local businesses.
