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