The Swansea in Bloom group (SIB) has been running the annual gardening competition, in conjunction with Swansea City Council, for the past 25 years. Unfortunately, funding and support from the Council were withdrawn this year, meaning the 2018 competition had to be cancelled.

However, the group is restructuring, and planning for an even bigger and better event next year.  Judging will take place in June and July 2019.

SIB is now talking to new sponsors and looking for new ways in which to brighten up the competition and make it more fun than ever.
