Time is running out to enter the Wokingham in Bloom art competition, which will see the winning designs used to create a relaxing oasis for the town’s firefighters.
Wokingham in Bloom volunteers together with Wokingham Fire Station have recycled, reused, and repurposed pallets and old lockers to create flower and vegetable beds and a deck with seating.
To compliment the garden, an art installation will be created from the winning designs.
The competition is being run by Wokingham in Bloom in partnership with R Young Art Gallery and thefire station on Easthampstead Road.
Morag Malvern, Chair of Wokingham in Bloom, said: “The Wokingham in Bloom teams have really enjoyed working with firefighters at Wokingham Community Fire Station to create a wonderful area where firefighters can decompress and enjoy nature.
“We would like to get the community involved creating artwork for the walls within that space, and other external areas around the fire station.
”There are prizes to be won, so no matter what your age or artistic ability, we’d love you to get involved and create a piece of work around our nature theme.”
The closing date for entries in 5pm on Monday, June 19.
