For the first time, winners will be presented with their prizes and trophies at a special Hertford in Bloom Exhibition at the Hatfield House Country Show in August. Russell Jeffrey of Riverside Garden Centre is generously sponsoring the competition, with both his time and prizes.

Hertford Town Council will once again support the Bloomin' Schools competition which was launched last year. The Town Council will also be running a separate Mini Scarecrow Competition for Hertford's primary schools, with entries being displayed and judged at the Hatfield House Country Show taking place 19th - 21st August.

Competition categories this year are:

  • Best Front Garden
  • Best Hanging Basket/Container
  • Best Commercial Premises and Public House
  • Best Allotment
There is also a new Community Project category to encourage local groups, communities and organisations to create a display which can be enjoyed by others in their community; entries could include planters in churchyards, in schools or even at the entrance to a block of flats.

For more detailed information on how to enter pick up details at the Town & Tourist Information Centre.

Judging will take place in July.
