South & South East in Bloom promotes, supports and encourages community activity through gardening, horticulture and environmental sustainability across Kent, Surrey, East & West Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and parts of Dorset and Wiltshire. It is one of 17 independent regional campaigns which make up Britain in Bloom - Europe’s largest horticultural campaign.
Entries are invited annually from neighbourhoods, villages, towns, and cities across our region who wish to improve their local environment and increase tourism. Entry into the “Bloom” helps to promote the benefits of gardening as a healthy and beneficial pastime for people of all ages and experience. Southern Water's support and sponsorship since 2002 has enabled South & South East in Bloom to quadruple in size, not only enhancing local communities but also encouraging us all to avoid wasting water.
