Bexhill in Bloom for 2010

Find out what's happening this year at Bexhill in Bloom at 5.00pm on Friday 19 March at BUPA, Grosvenor Park, 26 Brookfield Road, Bexhill.

Pick up an entry form, support the fund raising raffle and hear speakers on gardening topics.  There will be stands with various garden related products as well as details of this year's competition and other events taking place throughout the year.

There will be a small charge for refreshments which will go towards raising funds for Bexhill in Bloom.  The event will be opened at 6.00pm by the Rev.  Jonathan Frais, Rector of St Marks, Little Common, with an appropriate piece - 'The Four Gardens of The Bible'.

Special guest, The Vice-Lord Lieutenant Mrs Sara Stonor who is the Lord Lieutenant's representative, will give a short talk about the work of the Lieutenancy along with the Mayor of Bexhill Cllr Bridget George, as well as 'Greenfingered Fred' from ESK Gardening Club (sponsors of this year's prize), so the evening presents an interesting networking opportunity.  If you have a plant giving you problems, bring a piece along to Fred and he will tell you how to remedy it.

The 2010 Youth Competition is to 'Plant a Garden Depicting the Four Seasons', brochures are available on 'How to Enter'.
