Ramsgate in Bloom

Ramsgate in Bloom entrants have celebrated a successful year in the South and Southeast in Bloom competition.

Last year Ramsgate entered for the first time in the Seaside Coastal Town category with the harbour area after the idea was put forward by PCSO John Litchfield.

This year the town had six entrants and visiting judges were impressed to see the beautiful displays.

  1. Congratulations on the wonderful displays and all the hard work. I do hope the mayoress of Ramsgate can lead a campaign to help catch and stop those vandals who are trying to spoil our town by vandalism and graffiti.
    Shop a yob don’t let them ruin our town.

  2. all a bit late now i fear bill , the lunatics have taken over the asylum , and its a bit to far gone now to ever come back as anything even half decent.

    • “Realist” , don’t you ever make a nice comment where you actually praise people?

      There are some absolutely beautiful areas in Ramsgate. The people who planted and maintain them should be thanked and encouraged.
