    The categories are the same as before. Private gardens can enter to be judged whether small or large, front or back, or patio. Businesses in Wells are invited to enter their frontages or courtyards.

    Or forms can be collected and returned to the Town Hall

    The criteria for judging this year across all the competitions will include categories for gardens which can show evidence of sustainability and a friendly approach to the environment and wildlife, as well as presentation of planting. 
    Winners will be awarded the certificates at an Awards Ceremony in Wells Town Hall, 6pm Friday 4 October 2024.
     

    About

    Wells City Council aims to make the City of Wells attractive to residents and tourists and to involve the community and schools so that as many people as possible can get involved and take pride in how their City looks.

    Wells City Council purchase the plants from local nurseries.

    Wells In Bloom is finding ways to Bee Friendly. This planter at the Bus Station has eye catching colours and flowers that the insects love.

     

    WCC appreciates the support from local sponsors.  If you feel you would like to become a regular sponsor and receive recognition by having your name on a plaque in the City of Wells, we would love to hear from you. 

    Volunteers

    Wells In Bloom was originally set up by volunteers to provide floral displays in the Market Place and High Street, and since the start of the pandemic this has been continued by the City Council’s Outside Spaces team.
    Wells City Council, in partnership with volunteers, relaunched the annual Wells In Bloom competitions for Schools, Gardens and Allotments in 2022,  to recognise the valuable impact of gardening in our community in promoting  a positive health and well being as well as a positive impact on the environment.
    If you are interested in being part of the Wells in Bloom Volunteers for the judging please contact Councillor Denise Denis, email d.denis@wells.gov.uk or tel 07812206693.
