The Town's national reputation in The Britain in Bloom competition is already established with a Gold Awards in 2007 & 2008! Continued success in 2009 hinges on the whole community being involved, with schools, community groups, businesses and individuals playing their part.

We have to ensure that not only public areas look good but that patches of wasteland take on a new life. Local gardeners can lead the way by showing what can be achieved.

There are 4 categories:

Best School Grounds

Best Front/Rear Garden

Best Business (including Retail, Care Homes, Public Houses Guest Houses, Hotels)

Best Hanging Basket

The competition is open to everyone with the green-fingered touch in all types of gardens, be they large or small, and is being sponsored by Whitacre Garden Centre and ‘Miracle Gro’ All Purpose Plant Food.

A spokesman for Coleshill in Bloom said: "You don’t have to be an exceptional gardener to have a chance to win a prize."

A 1.2kg box of ‘Miracle Gro’ All Purpose Plant Food" will be issued FREE on receipt of a completed entry coupon plus photo at Whitacre Garden Centre. (1 free gift per entry)

In addition the winning entry in each category will receive £100 of gardening vouchers from Whitacre Garden Centre.

Entry to the competition is only available to residents and businesses in the Coleshill Town Council area.
