Leamington In Bloom is launched

Members of the competition committee held a launch event at the Royal Priors on Saturday at which they gave advice to would be contestants and handed out entry forms.

Sunflower seeds, donated by Webbs at Ryton Gardens, are again being given away to children for this section of the competition.

This week almost 1,400 geranium plugs have gone out to 21 junior and nursery schools for the children to grow on their classroom window sills ready to adorn the geranium trains in Jephson Gardens and the railway station this summer.

The trains will be launched at the gardens on June 25.

Last year Leamington won gold in the Heart of England in Bloom competition

Entry forms can be found at the information centre at the Pump Room and in the town hall, and can be downloaded from Leamington town council’s website.
