Garden in Bloom Awards

The Garden in Bloom Award Scheme, run in connection with the National Britain in Bloom competition, was introduced in 1992 to acknowledge the important contribution private front gardens make to the appearance of a town or valliage. The scheme runs throughout the Royal Borough and the gardens are assessed by Borough Councillors, local groups, organisations or Parish Councils.

Nominations for 2011 have now closed.

The criteria for nominations are as follows:

• Awards are for front gardens ONLY
• The garden or display can be any size, but must be visible to passers-by, that is from a road or footpath.
• The garden will be judged on impact, overall design including use of space and colour, originality and variety of plants, upkeep and presentation, and any special features including water conservation measures.

Gardens will be judged during June and July and awards will be distributed shortly after this. There will also be first and second prizes for the best gardens in each of the 23 wards through the Royal Borough. Prizes for ward winners will be presented by local councillors. The awards are sponsored by Farnham Common Nurseries and Windowflowers.
