Garden in Bloom has been a much loved tradition in the Royal Borough since 1992, recognising the wonderful contribution that private gardens make to the look and feel of our neighbourhoods. It’s our way of saying thank you to residents whose hard work, creativity and care help make our streets more colourful, welcoming and full of character.
Whether it’s a front garden bursting with flowers, a beautifully kept balcony, or a small but vibrant space visible from the road or footpath - every eligible garden has the chance to shine.
Any garden within the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead that is visible to passers by from a public road, pavement, or footpath is eligible. A photograph is strongly encouraged as it shows the garden at its best and supports the judging process.
Please also see our privacy notice for information about how we use nomination details.
Nominations close at 12 noon on Tuesday 30 June 2026.
You can nominate your own garden or someone else’s.

Our gardens are also a great place to boost biodiversity. To find out more about this topic please see our Biodiversity in the Borough webpage.
The Garden in Bloom award scheme this year is kindly sponsored by Stubbings.
Located just outside Maidenhead, Stubbings Nursery Ltd, is a family-run destination and a local haven for garden lovers and social gatherings. Combining a thriving garden centre with its award-winning Glasshouse Café visitors can enjoy beautiful surroundings, delicious homemade food and a welcoming atmosphere throughout the year.
The business also hosts a varied programme of seasonal events from outdoor theatre and artisan markets to family activities and workshops making it a popular community hub in every season.
We are delighted to be supporting the Wilds volunteer groups across the Royal Borough.
Their Wildlife Gardens Awards encourage residents to put nature at the heart of their outdoor spaces - something that pairs beautifully with Garden in Bloom.
We encourage residents to consider entering both schemes. Find out more at: www.wildlifegardensawards.org.
