Hackney In Bloom
Hackney in Bloom is a free gardening competition giving you the chance to show your green fingered skills. It aims to make the borough more attractive and raise awareness of the environment.
Our judges are keen to see an imaginative use of flowers, shrubs and displays of horticultural excellence. Marks are awarded for colour, condition and quality of plants, as well as layout and overall impact.
There are three categories (see below). Winners in each will also be entered in the London in Bloom competition.
