Thanks to sponsors Camden Garden Centre and the arboricultural contractors Treehab, winners will receive Camden Garden Centre vouchers as well as other prizes. They will also be invited to a ceremony at the Town Hall with the Mayor of Camden.
“Our annual Camden in Bloom competition continues to be a much-loved perennial… As well as the usual favourites, we have also introduced a new category – the Treemendous Trees Award – to recognise residents that take the time to water the trees in public spaces, helping them to grow and thrive. We look forward to seeing the amazing creativity and skill shown by our residents, businesses and communities.”
James Slater, the Cabinet member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden.
Entries close on Monday 31 August.
