Waltham Abbey In Bloom 2020

Due to the Coronvirus pandemic, a smaller Waltham Abbey In Bloom competition took place this year and the awards ceremony was adapted to take into account the current guidelines in relation to social distancing.  Unfortunately it was not possible to include all of the classes.  Thank you to everyone who participated and we hope the 2021 In Bloom and Horticultural Shows will return as normal next year.
