Supporting events

HBM

There is a range of events and activities that take place to support the 'In Bloom' campaign, including: Plant and cake sales which are hosted by the Herne Bay in Bloom Committee and Family Investment Homes. These have raised valuable funds to support the competition.

The popular Herne Horticultural Show that took place on 16 March. The Herne and Broomfield annual safari took place on Sunday 13 June. This year gardens of varying interest from hanging baskets and tubs to mature trees and shrubs opened up to the public. The garden owners are always willing to share information and give advice, and some even provide refreshment. Plants are always available to buy and the proceeds of the safari are divided between Help for Heroes and Herne and Broomfield Parish Council.

For the first time this year Herne Infants and Junior Schools opened their grounds as part of the safari giving local people the chance to see the work of the schools gardening clubs.

New allotments in Broomfield

HBM

Herne and Broomfield Parish Council have this year established a new allotment site next to the BMX track at Herne on land previously used as farm land. The site was set up as a response to local demand. An active site association has been formed to look after the site on a day to day basis, and there are about 50 full size plots available.

There are plenty of people that have taken up plots, and the site is well supported. Fencing is being improved sustainable water supply is being sourced, and on site storage for tools and supplies is being arranged.
