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.Photographs to follow – but the winners were:Best Kept Allotment DONNA BROWNBest New Allotment DONNA BROWNBest Overall Allotment DONNA BROWNBest Kept Residential Front Garden MR & MRS THOMASBest Residential Container MR & MRS THOMAS Best Residential Hanging Basket MR & MRS THOMASTallest Sunflower MR & MRS THOMAS
