Front Gardens competition

Two competitions have been launched to discover how green-fingered you are, and there will be prizes for the Front Garden and Blooming Business winners. The Blooming Business competition looks for the best display put on by a local business and the winner will receive a magnum of Pommery Champagne, donated by the George & Dragon Public House. The Front Garden competition is for a residents garden or floral display in public view and there are three categories: Best Large Front Garden, Best Small Front Garden and Best Window Box or Hanging Basket. Prizes for residents are: shrubs to the value of £50, donated by Farnham Common Nursery; £50 worth of garden vouchers donated by Paradigm Housing or a bottle of Champagne donated by Waitrose. Go for Chesham in Bloom. Call Kathryn Graves, Policy and Projects Officer at the town hall on 01494 583798. These competitions will prove what a gardening town Chesham is, so that the town does even better in this year’s Thames & Chilterns in Bloom judging in July.
