Show off your gardening greatness this summer by entering into the Ebbsfleet in Bloom’s Garden Photo Competition!
The competition is for gardeners of all ages and abilities and is free to enter.
The competition aims to encourage communities to celebrate imaginative and beautiful green spaces and promote biodiversity and wildlife on our doorsteps.
