There’s still time for budding gardeners and gardening groups across Hampshire to showcase their creativity through an annual gardening competition.
Green-fingered gardeners can showcase their horticultural spaces by entering an annual ‘In Bloom’ customer gardening competition run by SNG (Sovereign Network Group).
Applications are open now until Tuesday 30 June 2026
To support the competition, SNG has launched the ‘In Bloom Seed Fund’ which is offering small grants to help customers get started with gardening.
The fund aims to remove financial barriers and empower residents to take pride in their homes and outdoor spaces.
It can be used to help with seeds, tools, planters, and more: whether growing flowers, veggies, or creating a wildlife-friendly space, this fund can help customers get set up with gardening without worry and financial stress.
Categories for this year include: Thriving Community Garden, Small Garden Innovator, Sustainable Garden Innovator and Home Garden in Bloom.
Winners will be recognised with a professional photo shoot of their garden, and there are £200, £100 and £50 gift voucher prizes up for grabs for the respective first, second and third place winner in each of the four categories, as well as a personalised trophy and certificate for all winners.
Applications will close on Tuesday, June 30.
