Wight in Bloom competition 2008

This year we are grateful once again to Wightlink Ferries for increasing their sponsorship support of this popular competition. With this assistance, of all steering groups involved in this year’s competition we were once again able to purchase plants to enhance various public areas across the Island. The steering groups often rely on sponsorship and donations from individuals and businesses to help maintain these features, helping the funds to go even further.

Once again 2008 proved to be very popular with Island residents with an increase in participants, once again helping to make a contribution towards the Island environment.
This year there was a big increase in school and community group entries showing horticulture is starting to play a significant role in education by providing an outdoor classroom for learning and healthy activity.
