Up to three photos should be submitted by Wednesday, August 25, and will be used in a display on the town council website and its Facebook page.

Winners will announced and notified in September.

Councillor Sandy Ellis, chairman, said: “I am delighted and honoured to be returning to the chairmanship of Haywards Heath In Bloom.

“I have seen how popular gardening has become in our towns and villages.

“I do so hope everyone will support this wonderful virtual gardening initiative and I would love to share photos of the improvements made by our many keen gardeners and allotment holders.

“It’s been recognised that green space is good for our health and wellbeing, it’s also giving our environment a boost by helping nature to provide shelter and food for our wildlife.
