Win prizes for your gardening skills in new SNG In Bloom competition
28 May 2024
We know there are lots of committed, creative and green-fingered customers living in our communities and we appreciate the time and cost involved in garden upkeep. We want to celebrate your home gardening efforts, so we’re launching SNG In Bloom- a competition for all SNG customers and your gardens and green spaces of all shapes, colours and sizes!
This is part of our Living Together Programme, a Community Investment initiative that aims to reduce minor anti-social behaviour and bring communities together through a holistic package of support, funding and resources. We are delivering the Living Together Programme through three different strands: #Innovate, #Befriend and our #InBloom gardening competition!
Your indoor or outdoor garden, green space, or community garden can win up to £200 in vouchers if you're crowned winners of our SNG In Bloom competition, so apply today!
Applications close on Wednesday 31 July at 5pm.
