The annual 'Slough in Bloom' competition has launched while celebrating its 30th year.

The competition, which seeks to recognise the green thumbs in the area, was first launched in the borough in 1994.

Margaret Inniss, Chairman of Slough in Bloom, is part of the original team that set up the competition in the nineties and says she was "delighted" at the number of entries last year.

Residents can enter the 2024 competition from now until June 29 - with judging taking place from July 15.

Anyone can enter for free and there are 10 different categories to choose from.

These are; residential front garden, residential hanging baskets, window boxes and containers (front of property), community project, business/commercial/hospital, student project, public house/restaurant/hotel, sponsored roundabouts and roadside planting, best allotment plot, best allotment newcomer and environmental project.

Margaret Inniss, Chair of Slough in Bloom, said: “The Slough in Bloom Committee were delighted by the number and quality of the entries last year, but we still want to see more gardens and allotments entering this free competition.

"As this is our 30th year, we are looking forward to seeing even more entries and what new ideas have been thought up by our green-fingered gardeners."
