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.
Haywards Heath Town Council is delighted to announce that Haywards Heath has won GOLD in the Large Town category of Britain in Bloom 2024! This follows on from the town’s success winning Large Town of the Year and 3 Golds in the South and South East In Bloom competition this year.
In addition to winning Gold for Large Town in its first entry to Britain in Bloom, Councillor Sandy Ellis, Chair of the Haywards Heath In Bloom Committee, was presented with a Community Champion award for her hard work promoting In Bloom, greening, and wildlife in the town.
WHO ARE WE AND HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
Haywards Heath In Bloom is 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 us. 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.
