Havebury in Bloom 2025

Posted on by

Winners will receive £50 of supermarket vouchers, and everyone who takes part will get a certificate of participation.

If you love your garden and want to get involved, find out more below.

Havebury in Bloom will launch today and run until 29 June 2025, so there is plenty of time for you to get your gardening gloves on.

If you would like to get involved, please email engagement@havebury.com. Alternatively, you can complete the online form below to register your interest, and a member of our Engagement team will contact you to confirm your place.

Judging will take place w/c 30 June 2025. Please don’t worry if you are not available during that week. To ensure everyone can get involved, you can send us photos of your garden (please ensure these photos highlight what makes your garden special).

We will also be running ‘The tallest sunflower’ competition, and more details can be found below.

We will be judging gardens in the following categories:

  • Best front garden – Does your garden have the ‘wow’ factor? Judges will be looking for a variety of plants in different colours and formations and ornaments used to good effect. One winner will be selected from Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and all villages.
  • Best balcony – If you don’t have a garden, but still make the most of your outside space, then we want to see! Judges will be looking for creative use of space, and a variety of plants which can include hanging baskets. One winner will be selected from Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and all villages.
  • Best communal garden – Do you have a shared garden that’s used by residents at your scheme? We would love to see how the garden benefits you and your neighbours. One winner will be selected from all ourhomes in this category.
  • Best grow your garden – Do you love growing fruits and vegetables? Are you passionate about eating what you produce? We can’t wait to hear all about it. One winner will be selected from all Havebury homes in this category.
  • Tallest sunflower from seed – If you know someone under 16 who wants to get involved, let us know. We will be measuring the sunflowers in August, and you can claim your free seeds from Monday 28 April. You can email engagement@havebury.com with your name, age and address, and we will post out your seeds, or you can come to our office to collect them. The only rule is that sunflowers must be grown in your garden within a Havebury home.
