EXMOUTH in Bloom is inviting green-fingered residents and businesses to take part in this year's community bloom competition.

All those taking part will have the chance to win a top prize of a patio table and four chairs, and garden vouchers, donated by Kings Garden and Leisure Centre, in Hulham Road.

The closing date for entries is June 30, ready for judging at the end of July.

Entry forms with a full list of categories can be found throughout the town.

An Exmouth in Bloom spokeswoman said: "You don't have to be a professional gardener to enter, just proud of your garden or floral decorations.

"There are many classes including gardens big and small, best hanging basket, best pub, best hotel and guest house.

"We would also love to have more entries in the community effort - groups of neighbours and youngsters - which will help with our overall entry in the South West in Bloom competition.
