Still time to enter Chesterfield in Bloom competition

Time is running out to enter this year’s Chesterfield in Bloom competition which closes on Friday 24th June.

Run by Chesterfield Borough Council, there are a total of ten categories open for entry this year, from Best blooming pub or restaurant sponsored by Weightron Bilanciai to Best kept allotment site sponsored by Chesterfield Markets.

Finalists will be invited to an awards ceremony this September and some of the entrants may also be visited by the East Midlands in Bloom judges next month as part of their tour of the borough.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing said: “Last year, we had more than 100 entries to the Chesterfield in Bloom competition and the standard of them is always very high.

“Chesterfield in Bloom is not just about growing pretty flowers; people with well-kept landscaping can enter – and if you don’t have a garden, you can enter the best kept hanging basket category. There really is something for everyone and I encourage people to take part.”

This year’s Chesterfield in Bloom competition closes on Friday 24 June. For more information, download an entry form using the link below or contact john.ramsey@chesterfield.gov.uk.
