If you love your garden and want to get involved, find out more below.
Havebury in Bloom will be launching today and will run all the way up until 14 June 2024, so there is plenty of time for you to get your gardening gloves on. Judging will take place w/c 17 June 2024.
We will also be running ‘The tallest sunflower’ competition, and more details can be found below.
We will be judging gardens in the following categories:
- Best front garden – Does your garden have the ‘wow’ factor? Judges will be looking for a variety of plants in different colours and formations and ornaments used to good effect. One winner will be selected from Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and all villages.
- Best balcony – don’t have a garden, but still make the most of your outside space, then we want to see! Judges will be looking for creative use of space, and a variety of plants which can include hanging baskets. One winner will be selected from Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and all villages.
- Best communal garden – Do you have a shared and used garden by residents at your scheme? We would love to see how the garden benefits you and your neighbours. One winner will be selected from all Havebury homes in this category.
- Best grow your garden – Do you love growing fruits and vegetables? Are you passionate about eating what you produce? We can’t wait to hear all about it. One winner will be selected from all Havebury homes in this category.
- Tallest sunflower from seed – If you know someone under 16 who wants to get involved, let us know. We will be measuring the sunflowers in August, and you can claim your free seeds from Tuesday 2 April 2024. You can email engagement@havebury.com with your name, age and address, or you can come to our office to collect your seeds. The only rule is that sunflowers must be grown in your garden within a Havebury home.
