PRESS RELEASE: Sevenoaks in Bloom – 2022 Awards
Published: 26 September 2022
Sevenoaks Town Centre, The Vine and Upper High Street Gardens have been awarded Gold in this year’s South & South East in Bloom Awards.
The town centre during the summer was bursting with yellow and purple flowers, both hanging baskets and floral troughs, together with edible plants for residents to help themselves to in The Vine Gardens and other areas of the town.
Rockdale Housing Association and the Incredible Edible team at West Kent Housing had individual and stunning Floral displays.
Sevenoaks Town Council is delighted with the results (see below) and gives special thanks to all the local businesses, organisations and volunteers who help and make the town such a success, including Sevenoaks Soroptimists, Sevenoaks Living Landscapes, Southeastern Trains, the Darent Valley Community Rail Partnership, Sevenoaks District Council and young people at HOUSE in the Basement.
Excitement is brimming while waiting for the Town Centre entry which is also a finalist for this year’s Britain in Bloom competition with emphasis on environment and community as well as floral beauty, the results of which will be announced in two weeks’ time.
If you would like to help and support as part of the In Bloom team. Please contact Ann White at Sevenoaks Town Council for details as to how to get involved – dtc@sevenoakstown.gov.uk
