Farnham in Bloom have launched two competitions:-

Lego garden challenge - create your perfect garden or veg patch out of Lego. Email in your photographs of your lego creation to bloom@farnham.gov.uk and we will pick a winner.

Virtual Hanging basket competition... fancy making up a hanging basket and entering our virtual hanging basket competition? Email a photo of your finished hanging basket and attach a description of the plants used and how you have looked after it, along with your name and age.

The baskets should be looking lovely in June so the deadline for entries will be 30 June 2020. Please send entries to bloom@farnham.gov.uk and the Mayor will judge your hanging basket with the winners being announced in the autumn.

With the cancellation of the Bloomin’ Kids workshops, Farnham in Bloom have come up with a few activities that children can get involved in during the school closure.

1. Why not research a famous artist online and then try to recreate one of their paintings? Favourites are Kandinsky, Mondrian, Van Gogh and Matisse.
2. Or create a nature art piece in the garden, either on the grass or a patio. Arrange collected leaves, flowers and grass to create your artwork.

Creating a seed bomb is a perfect activity to do if you have some wildflower seeds.
