Organisations invited to support blooming glorious Chesterfield

Chesterfield is set to experience a blooming riot of colour this summer as residents get set to enter the annual best kept garden competition as part of the Chesterfield in Bloom campaign.

The launch of this year’s Chesterfield and East Midlands in Bloom campaign is fast approaching and the organisers are looking for local organisations to support the event.

Chesterfield in Bloom is led by a committee of local residents supported by Chesterfield Borough Council, who have been working hard on new initiatives for the forth coming campaign including new categories for specifically for council house tenants and a wheel barrow competition for secondary school children. They are also looking to expand the amount of floral displays we have in the town centre through their work with other town centre partners.

A record breaking number of more than 100 people took part in the competition last year, which is open to all Chesterfield borough residents.

Current partners include Ringwood Hall Hotel, Spencer’s Solicitors, Killingley Landscapes, Tawney Wood Developments, Dunston Hall and New Leaf Garden Centres. Local businesses and companies are invited to join the current partners to support the Chesterfield in Bloom competition with a number of sponsorship opportunities available.

The sponsorship packages include company name engraved on the awards and certificates, listed on entry forms and award brochures, invitation to the awards and judging competition alongside extensive PR coverage in local media from April – September 2018.
