Every year the Society organises a competition for the best front garden. The competition is open to both gardens and displays in baskets or containers. The objective is to find the display having most impact - size is not a factor.
The only restriction, apart from the need to be situated within the Parish of Rainhill, is that the display must be visible from a roadway or other area accessible to the public.
Entry forms are usually available in May . Please consider entering for the competition. You can also nominate a neighbour or anyone else, with their permission, whose garden display you admire. All entries are judges from outside your property - you will not be disturbed. Any committee member can provide you with a form, or if you wish you may e-mail the Secretary for one. You can print one out during the entry period. Completed forms should be returned to any committee member or placed in the box in the Library.
You can also submit an on-line form.
Judging takes place this year on 18th July and prizes of 25GBP, 15GBP and 10GBP gardening tokens will be presented in October. The winner is, in addition, the holder for twelve months of a silver rosebowl presented to the Society by the Parish Council. Photographs of the winning gardens are displayed in the Library.
Rainhill in Bloom was introduced to brighten up the Township. Please help us to do this by entering your own display.
