Rushmoor Community in Bloom Schools Competition 2026

The Rushmoor Community in Bloom Schools Competition celebrates the creativity, teamwork, and environmental awareness of children and young people across Rushmoor. 

Open to schools and home-education groups, the competition encourages pupils to connect with nature, learn about sustainability, and take pride in the spaces they grow and care for — whether that’s a garden, an unusual container, or a design on paper. 

Winning entries will be invited to a dedicated Schools Awards Event, celebrating the hard work and achievements of pupils and staff.   

The competition is run by Rushmoor Voluntary Services and sponsored by Rushmoor Rotary Club as part of the wider Rushmoor Community in Bloom programme.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page or sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear any updates or reminders.
