HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?? CALLING ALL GARDENERS!!

Ramsey Town Commissioners are thrilled to announce the launch of its annual Ramsey in Bloom Competition.

The Ramsey in Bloom 2025 Competition is officially in bloom!! We want YOU to show off you stunning gardens, creative containers and floral masterpieces!

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a passionate newbie – this is your time to shine!

The Ramsey in Bloom Competition celebrates creativity, community spirit and a love for nature - welcoming entries in categories ranging from Little Gems to best Community Project. Whether it’s a creative container, a pollinator paradise or a perfectly pruned garden, we’ve got a category for you, and we WANT to hear to from you.
The Competition Categories are as follows:

Public Buildings, Commercial Premises (small and large), Private Gardens (small and large), Little Gems, Community Project, Wildlife Garden, Special Prizes for best containerised plants, special feature, special effort, best newcomer, and best hanging baskets.

For the young gardeners out there, the Felton's Challenge Competition this year is "Grow Your Own Poppy".

This year's initiative is designed to encourage young gardeners to get their hands dirty and experience the magic of growing something from seed to bloom.

The children's poppy-growing activity not only nurtures a passion for gardening but also introduces themes of remembrance, growth and care.

Geoff Court, Lead Member for Parks and Leisure says "We are excited to launch our Ramsey in Bloom 2025 Competition – a celebration of creativity, colour and community spirit!

This year, the Ramsey Town Commissioners wanted to create something the whole community could be a part of, especially children. The "Grow Your Own Poppy" project is a simple, beautiful way to engage young people with nature, while honouring the symbolism of the poppy.

The Ramsey in Bloom Competitions invite everyone to enter and showcase your "blooming" talents. We’re bringing the Community together one garden at a time!”

The Ramsey in Bloom 2025 Competition is officially open for entries – and we want to see your best blooms. Application forms for the main Competition are available from the Town Hall & Library and can also be downloaded here:
