Wolverhampton Floral City Campaign...latest

Tourism chiefs are calling on green-fingered residents and businesses to dig for victory!

The team behind Floral City - Wolverhampton’s bid for glory in this year’s Heart of England in Bloom competition - say budding gardeners, community champions and even amateur historians all have their part to play in their quest for a gold award.
A panel of judges will descend on the city in July and the race is on to ensure Wolverhampton looks blooming marvellous in time for their arrival.

And so now organisers are calling on the community to back the bid – and get gardening.

Already on board are Waitrose, which will also offer the judges a tea break as they travel around the city, Enterprise, which will provide prizes for the children's drawing competition and Sandy Lane Allotments & Gardeners’ Association, which will hold master classes to show beginners how to grow their own vegetables.

They are also staging a veg-growing competition and will be providing sunflower seeds for local schoolchildren to grow, with prizes up for grabs for the tallest. Pupils can also take part in a poster drawing competition.

Wolverhampton’s Heart of England in Bloom campaign was launched by popular historian Professor Carl Chinn MBE in March.

Entry forms are now available from the Civic Centre, Central Library and the Visitor Information Centre, Queen Square, or from the website.
