Storrington in Bloom

Storrington in Bloom’s local competition for 2018 was launched at the Storrington Duck Race on Sunday 13^th May where we held a plant tombola to raise more funds towards our village centre displays. Thank you to everyone that came to see us at the event.

Spring is upon us and summer is on its way, we’ve been looking around at all the wonderful front gardens and community areas in and around Storrington but are sure we’ve missed some worthy of a look. So please make sure you tell us about them! You can enter our competition yourself or nominate someone else’s that you admire (or envy!). Click here for the entry form.

With thanks to Chanctonbury Lions and the Rotary Club of Storrington and Pulborough we are hosting another scarecrow competition this year, with the theme ‘Wedding Party’. For the enjoyment of residents and visitors to Storrington we have asked St Mary’s Church for permission to have them all displayed in the Churchyard this year so do look out for the display, and of course, work with your family or a local group to create an entry! Click here for the entry form.

Entries for the scarecrow competition, front garden and community area categories are invited until Thursday 28^th June. Entry forms can be submitted by email to storringtoninbloom@gmail.com or can be handed in at The Card Shop.

Let’s make this our best year yet!

Entries are now invited for the 2017 local competitions which will be judged during July and August. Categories include front garden, allotment, external business display, community area and business window display. We are also introducing a scarecrow competition which we hope many groups and families will get involved in. Please click on the link for entry forms for the residential categories and the scarecrow competition or collect one from Joanna’s Boutique Tearoom, The Card Centre or Wood’n’pots’n’things. Come on all you budding gardeners – now is the time to show off! Don’t forget you can also nominate the front garden of one of your neighbours. (more…)
