A CALL has gone out for green-fingered gardeners in Newquay to show off their efforts.

Residents are being invited to enter Newquay in Bloom’s Gardens Competition 2025 by June 21.

There are various categories including cottage and courtyard gardens, wildlife gardens, vegetable gardens, allotments, containers and garden pond.

Bloom secretary Lesley Friel said: “We look forward very much to people’s entries however modest their garden as there are categories for all types and sizes.

“Don’t delay as entries need to be in by June 21 and judging is on June 24 and 25. We still need more entries in all categories.

“Entry is free and direct from the Newquay in Bloom Facebook page though anyone who needs a paper entry they can pick one up from Newquay Library or contact me, Lesley Friel.

“I am delighted to announce that Lakeside Café are kindly sponsoring the competition and offering a cream tea for two with prosecco as the prize for one lucky person entering the competition this year. The draw will be made at our presentation evening in October.

“This year we are trialling a new approach and business entries will be nominated like the Oscars by our committee and our judges will adjudicate. We hope this will lead to more businesses being included.”

Anyone interested in entering can contact Lesley Friel by emailing [email protected]

Alternatively, telephone 07837 743016 or 01637 874717.
