BROMLEY'S gardeners will do battle over the summer in the Bromley in Bloom 2002 contest.

The competition was launched at the Glades gardening exhibition by The Sun's gardening columnist Peter Seabrook.

The launch was the highlight of two weeks of gardening events at the Glades, run with Bromley Council, which has included an Italian garden and events for children.

Entry forms for the Bromley in Bloom competition are available to all residents interested in taking part. Apply to the Glades customer service desk, or call Charles Kyprianou on 020 8313 4493.
