CREWKERNE Chamber of Commerce is urging businesses to help make the town look blooming' spectacular this year.
The Chamber is offering more than the usual highly fought-over prize cups to try and get more people involved in Crewkerne in Bloom.
The organisation has received the backing of some of the area's best flower producers and nurseries for what promises to be a colourful competition.
This year anyone who is in business in Crewkerne or its neighbouring villages can enter the competition.
The prizes have grown into some real beauties. There is champagne from local bistro Oscars, or you could scoop superb prizes from nurseries Scotts of Merriott and North Perrott Garden Centre or from the gardens at Lower Severalls and local Crewkerne florists. And, of course, all these local horticultural businesses will be happy to help advise you on how best to create your own summer colour.
A Chamber spokesman said: "Crewkerne and villages will look as great as ever this year and this competition is about more than backing the usual superb displays - it's about celebrating the local horticultural and floral businesses we're so lucky to have on our patch.
And Chamber chairman, Marcus Barrett, added: "We look forward to seeing lots of colleagues at our July meeting where we'll give further details of our link-up with a Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the new-look Chamber Ball, an open meeting on business with David Laws MP and other social events to come for new members to network informally."
