Stansted in Bloom 2021

Sworders is delighted to be sponsoring this year's Stansted in Bloom garden competition. If you're a resident of Stansted and are proud of your garden, now is the perfect time to show it off!

Britain in Bloom is the UK's longest running gardening competition, providing a regional and nationwide platform for community groups to brighten up their village, town, or city.

The Stansted in Bloom Group has been established by a small group of residents who were involved in last year’s Stansted in Bloom competition who all wanted to make a positive difference in their local community.

They have set themselves the following objectives:

  • To work in partnership with Stansted Mountfitchet Parish Council for the betterment and beautification of the village
  • To increase community involvement in volunteer led projects as supported and agreed by the Parish Council 
  • To look for sponsorship and financial support to assist in improvement projects
  • To enhance the environment throughout Stansted Mountfitchet by encouraging sustainable practices and increasing the local biodiversity
  • To foster community spirit and encourage civic pride with enhanced planting, weeding, cleaning, and recycling initiatives

If you are a resident of Stansted and are proud of your garden or outside space, now is the perfect time to show it off! The competition categories are as follows:

  • Overall Garden
  • Front Garden
  • Hanging Baskets & Tubs
  • Fruit and Veg Plots
