GAZETTE & HERALD: THE planning has started for the Calne in Bloom gardening competition this summer.

Keen gardeners from the Calne Civic Society and St Mary's Gardening Club have come together to plan the event in the town in June, with support from the town council and Chamber of Commerce.

This year prizes will be awarded for the Best Front Garden and the Best Front Container Garden. There will also be an award for the Best Retailer Floral Display.

Winners of each category will then go forward to the North Wiltshire Flower Festival competition to represent the town.

Anyone wanting to enter can get a form at the Information Centre in Bank House or from shops in the town.

The form is also being distributed with the Calne Connection magazine.

All entry forms have to be returned to the Information Centre by June 18.

Judging will take place during the last week of June.

All the winners will be announced at a special reception at the town hall on July 13.
