Battle Town Council is delighted to announce that entries are now open for the highly-anticipated Battle in Bloom 2024 competition, which aims to foster community spirit and enhance the beauty of the town.

The Battle in Bloom competition seeks to inspire residents to take pride in their surroundings, contributing to a more beautiful place to live and visit.

Gardens and green spaces often help attract visitors to the area.

Councillor Marie-Louise Neill said: “As summer approaches, we've noticed so many beautiful front gardens and community areas in and around Battle, but we know there are more out there that deserve recognition.

There is a summer awards evening at the Almonry on 18 July, to which all entrants are invited.

“We need help to find these hidden gems! If you have a garden you're proud of, or if you know someone whose garden you admire – or envy – please suggest that they enter.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to recognise the contributions and achievement of our gardeners.

Photographs taken during judging will be displayed at the Almonry and in social media so that everyone can be inspired.”

Competition categories include:

Best front garden
Best back garden
Best patio garden
Best container garden (adult and children)
Best newcomer
Best fruit and vegetable garden
Best wildlife garden
Best family garden

The deadline for entries is Friday, June 21.
