Merton in Bloom is a fantastic way of improving the look of our outdoor spaces and getting communities to work together whilst having lots of fun.
This year the contest is a little different, there are fewer categories, but, as well as people being able to enter their own gardens into the contest, anyone can nominate a local garden or floral feature in the borough that has impressed them.
These can include front gardens, allotment plots or gardens at pubs, restaurants or other business premises as well as those at community venues or schools.
Entries can be made in the following categories:
· Best residential front garden.
· Best community or business garden – including pubs, restaurants or schools.
· Best garden features such as window boxes, troughs or planters.
· Best allotment plot.
