Bampton in Bloom
Since the 1970's, Bampton has regularly taken part in the 'Britain in Bloom' competition - however, from 2008 we have not entered the competition.
The requirements for the SW in Bloom competition have become so much that it has been difficult to find the manpower to cover all aspects required - however, Bampton will still be full of colour and blooms for residents and visitors to enjoy!
To see our town in its full floral glory, watch our 'Town Trail' video!
Report on progress on revamping the 'Railway Bed' - here (June 2018)
It is with regret that the committee of Bampton in Bloom has taken the decision to cancel the Hidden Garden Weekend due to have taken place on 27th and 28th June 2020 and also the Garden Competition which was due to be judged on 29th June.
We have also had to take the decision that no hanging baskets will be put up in the town this year, although should Covid-19 sanctions permit, we will do our best to plant up some of the troughs around the town later in the summer if we are able to get the plants. I’m sure we will all make our garden spaces as attractive as possible so that Bampton still blooms in 2020.
PROGRAMME FOR 2020:
A lot of work goes into this from a few volunteers, all with busy lives. We would be very pleased to hear from anyone who would be able to help with watering throughout the summer. It doesn’t matter how little you can do; every little helps!
