On Saturday 19 June after spending 2 hours talking to residents in the Ryder Gardens, Simpson Road area, we did some preparations for the London in Bloom competition which will be judged on 15 July.

Keeping Elm Park tidy is not just about London in Bloom, all year round we do our best to keep the little train area, the flower bed outside Percy Ingles and the Royal British Legion looking well planted and tidy.  We report any graffiti we see and other issues that need attention.  The London in Bloom committee members contribute to this as well as some local businesses and we get wonderful support from the Elm Park Horticultural Guild and residents.
