GREEN-FINGERED gardeners in Wareham are going for gold this summer in Britain in Bloom competitions.

Judges will be visiting today (Monday, July 10) to assess the town’s entry in the South and South-East in Bloom competition.

Members of Wareham Community Growers hope the floral displays they have created with the town council impress, after winning Gold and the Best Small Town award in 2022.

The group has also accepted an invitation this year to enter Wareham in the RHS Britain in Bloom national finals and the judges will be visiting on Tuesday, August 1.

The competition is not all about flowers – community involvement and environmental responsibility are considered alongside horticultural excellence.

Anyone who would like to help Wareham Community Growers should phone Jacquie on 07890 139038, visit their Facebook page or email warehamcommunitygrowers@gmail.com.
