Redbridge in Bloom 2023
This year, we will celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. To mark this special occasion, we are encouraging the residents of Redbridge to get involved in our amateur gardening competition by creating a garden fit for the King!
Anyone can enter whatever their level of gardening expertise. To enter, you all need to create the best garden in whatever category you choose by planting lots of beautiful shrubs and pretty flowers.
Vision RCL is introducing a brand-new category for 2023, Best Sustainable Planet-Friendly Garden, in honour of King Charles III, a staunch advocate for improving the environment.
