Just a final note – why is HRA co-ordinating this competition?

The competition is partly about seeing who will win the prizes – but it’s also about creating a community event that everyone of all ages can get involved in.

We also hope it will help make Hersham beautiful – with as many flowers as possible on display around Hersham. That’s why some of the prize categories are designed to encourage flowers in front gardens of any height.

Even if you don’t grow a sunflower, the aim is that you will see them growing all around the village.
