Judging on 5th July 2025,
Be Part of Llandeilo in Bloom. A new initiative that will bring neighbours, businesses, and friends together to make our town even more vibrant and welcoming. We are starting small but dreaming big! This year, we are introducing local competitions for residents and businesses, and with your help, we hope to enter Llandeilo into the prestigious RHS Wales in Bloom national competition in the future. To get things rolling, Llandeilo Town Council (LTC) has signed up for the free RHS ‘It’s Your Neighbourhood’ (IYN) Awards, ensuring this initiative grows into a sustainable long -term project that everyone can take part in.
The excitement began on March 15th, when Mayor Cllr Charlotte Morgan, alongside Cllr Kate Glanville & Cllr Katie Rees, joined Permaculture Tywi at their Spring Fair to launch Llandeilo in Bloom and hand out free sunflower seeds. A simple start, but one that will see our town bursting with golden blooms this summer! We want everyone to take part! You do not need a garden to join in-just a little creativity, enthusiasm, and a love for making Llandeilo beautiful. Whether you plant a pot, a box on your windowsill, brighten up a hanging basket,
