In Bloom

Islington in Bloom is our local horticultural competition.

There are categories for residents, schools, businesses and community groups to enter. Prizes are sponsored by local businesses and will be awarded at a ceremony in late summer.

Any balcony, garden or window box that's visible to passers-by could win a prize. And even if you don't have any space of your own for gardening, you could still:

plant a new a 'forgotten corner' garden on your estate or street
plant a mini-garden in street tree pit near your home
