Haywards Heath IN BLOOM

Haywards Heath In Bloom brings together gardeners, community organisations, businesses and schools to celebrate the richness and diversity of growing things.

We aim to stimulate social interactions, make new friends, learn new horticultural hobbies and have a local say on how your community develops and grows by fostering a great sense of community pride.

NEWSFLASH

Last year Haywards Heath was awarded a Gold in the Large Towns category of South and South East In Bloom, run by the Royal Horticultural Society. In 2024 we have been entered in Britain In Bloom, one of only six towns in the country. It is a great honour for our town, and we are looking forward to the judging later this summer.

A committee of volunteers working with Haywards Heath Town Council and reaching out to the wider community. Current members are Councillor Sandy Ellis (Chair), Brenda Gulliver, Sylvia Harris, Michael Figg, Alan Colgate, Andy Stempt, Murray Crump and Andrew Lawes.

We are always looking for new members to add new skills and interests. Please call in to the Town Hall or email HHIB@Haywardsheath.gov.uk

Enter our Best Kept competition. Every  year we inspect and judge on individual front gardens, community gardens, businesses with attractive displays and allotments. Entry forms are available from the Town Hall and from some of the businesses in the town displaying the HHIB sticker and poster. Alternatively, please click here for an online entry form. We welcome self-nominations or you can tell us about a neighbouring display that you think we should see. But hurry because the closing date for entries this year is 1st July!

Join us on Litter Picks around the town to help keep our town clean and beautiful, our parks green, nature reserves and woodlands litter free for the local wildlife and for all to enjoy. We also enable local community groups to do their own litter-picking.
