FLOWER POWER: THERE'S STILL TIME TO ENTER NEWBURY IN BLOOM 2023
The ‘Newbury in Bloom 2023’ campaign is well underway, with only two weeks left to make an entry to the competition.

This year’s categories 2023 are:
- Neighbourhood - 5 + properties (including almshouses & canal boats)
- Community Projects - any community or Group working together.
- Places of Worship or Assembly
- Allotment
- Miniature Garden - (window box, hanging basket 1mx1m max)

Awards will be presented for current and ongoing projects and can be of any size, small or large.
This is a great opportunity for our green fingered residents to show off their skills, whilst making Newbury a beautiful place to work and live.
We are looking forward to viewing the entries and would like to thank our sponsors, The Yew Tree Garden Centre, Rivar Sand & Gravel Ltd, Sundog Hire and Greentips who are providing generous support and prizes for the competition.
