Kingsteignton in Bloom Competition 2023
We are pleased to announce that this competition will take place again this year!
We welcome entries from residents, businesses and schools, pre-schools, children’s nurseries and child-minders who involve the children they care for, in a little gardening.
This is not a professional competition, it is just for you to be proud of what you have created in your garden and would like to share a photo of and meet like minded gardeners. Whether you have a beautiful single hanging basket, container or a whole fruit and vegetable patch please consider entering. If you are a really keen gardener and wish to enter your whole garden then please do so also.
We will have a couple of judges and a photographer visit you on one of the judging days, either July 14th or 15th and prizes will be awarded at a presentation event on August 16th at a local venue. TBA

Each year, we encourage anybody who is proud of their garden display/s, whether it is just one single basket or container or the whole garden or vegetable display, to have a go and enter the annual competition.
