Peebles in Bloom 2021![]()
![]()
The Peebles in Bloom project had to be adapted in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. However this year we hope to return to the usual format, though whether or not we can hold the Presentation of Awards and Trophies in the Burgh Hall in August remains to be seen.![]()

The aim is that Peebles Community Council will confer Peebles in Bloom Awards to those residents and business folk who have created beautiful gardens and floral displays in recognition of the time and effort that has gone into helping make Peebles such an attractive town.![]()
![]()
Community Councillors will walk around Peebles in July and nominate the best gardens and (in the case of business premises) floral displays within the following categories:![]()

Large garden![]()
Medium garden![]()
Small garden![]()
Courtyard garden![]()

Best street![]()
All year round garden![]()
Secret garden![]()

The secret garden is a plot not easily seen from the road so we depend on folk nominating their own or someone else’s garden (see contact details below.)![]()

Following a second tour of the nominated gardens the list is whittled down to a more manageable number.![]()
