Get your gardens ready for Halstead in Bloom’s annual competition.

The Local Garden Competition 2015 has lots of categories to enter with something for everyone be it a garden in a pot or a large allotment.

There is even a young person’s category for those under 15 to get green fingered.

Entry forms can be found at Halstead Town Council, in Halstead Icing, in Weavers Court, or in some editions of The Halstead Gazette.

Entrance is free.

A £30 first prize and a second prize of £20.00 will be awarded in each category.

Certificates will also be given to each entrant.
