Ryde in Bloom is BACK for 2021 and organisers hope it will be bigger and better than ever.
It is open to all Islanders in Ryde, and those with a garden, patio, allotment, window-box or even a windowsill are being urged to get creative and get involved!
It promises to be an accessible, inclusive event that gives everyone equal opportunity.
Ryde Town Council will be working with as many schools in Ryde as possible to engage them in Ryde in Bloom by partnering with Haylands Farm to provide over 1000 packs of seeds to schools who take part.
Haylands Farm Manager Nichola Cook said:
“We are proud to be a part of this project and supporting the local community. It’s been a great opportunity for us to work alongside Ryde
Town Council and the local schools.”
Shona Parnell of Ryde Town Council said:
“This year we wanted to make sure that as many people as possible felt that they could enter this wonderful event – you don’t need a huge garden, just a bit of imagination!”
You don’t have to be a seasoned professional to win the competition either because there are two distinct categories – Adults and Under 16.
The two categories are sponsored by Wightlink and Goodleaf Tree Climbing.
Wightlink Chief Executive Keith Greenfield said:
“We are really pleased to support this year’s Ryde in Bloom competition and look forward to seeing the town burst into colour this summer. As well as providing a boost to wildlife, the blooms will also create a warm and vibrant welcome for visitors and give everyone a much-needed boost in what has been a challenging year. Best of luck to everyone taking part!”
Paul McCathie from Goodleaf Tree Climbing added:
"We know how brilliant it is spending time outside, in the fresh air, connecting with nature. We're very proud to sponsor Ryde in Bloom."
Ryde in Bloom is due to launch on Friday 23 April with final judging on Monday 5 July.
