The market town of Epsom in Surrey is entered into this years’ South East in Bloom competition. With judging due to take place at the very end of June / early July, this is the first time in many years that Epsom has entered the competition and the town is aiming high!

Epsom in Bloom was officially launched on Saturday 15 May. Epsom & Ewell Council even had a stall in the marketplace and were handing out free packs of seeds and launching several competitions for everyone in Epsom to take part in. 

The Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Humphrey Reynolds said: “This is a fantastic initiative and the whole community can join in. I’m hoping many young people will take the opportunity to collect the free seeds on Saturday and enjoy growing something spectacular”.

Karen Pengelly, BID Manager at Go Epsom commented “In the past 12 months, nature has played a huge part in people’s lives. Epsom in Bloom is a lovely way for the town to create more green spaces and develop a sense of civic pride, Go Epsom is really happy to be involved”.

Epsom in Bloom also has its own dedicated Facebook(link is external) and Instagram(link is external) accounts.
