Peebles and District Community Council are pleased to announce that the Peebles in Bloom competition will take place again this summer. There are many beautiful gardens in Peebles, and we feel it is important to recognise all the hard work which goes into making this town such an attractive place to live in and to visit.
In July Community Councillors will walk all around the town looking at front gardens and business premises in order to produce a list of gardens and displays that they feel are worthy of consideration (so don’t worry if you see someone studying your garden and making notes on a clipboard, it’s probably just one of us!) Then there is a review to create a short list followed by a tour by independent judges who make the final decisions.
We need the public’s help with two aspects (see our contact details below). Firstly, if you know of a front garden which is really special then please tell us. That way we can be sure we won’t miss any. Secondly, let us know about any ‘secret gardens’ which cannot be seen from the pavement.
The Secret Gardens category is just one of ten categories. The others are Very Small Garden, Small Garden, Medium Garden, Large Garden, All Year Round Garden, Business Premises, Courtyard Garden, Best Street and Community Garden.
The prize giving will be in the Burgh Hall on 21st August.
We will be in touch shortly with last year’s winners in order to collect in the trophies.
