Spring Bulb Distribution
Our annual Spring Bulb Distribution was warmly received by over 20 Nursery schools, pre-schools and charitable organisations and we hope to show you the fruits of their labours in the near future!
Christmas Fund Raising
Thanks go to everyone for your donations to our Christmas Book Stalls at The Market Place when the Towns Christmas Lights were switched on and the Horticultural Society’s Market at the Cypress Hall on the 14th December.
The princely sum of £112 was raised and we are planning a review of the books we have left with a view to obtaining more children’s titles
Christmas Light Galore
Once again Bloom judges toured Burgess Hill looking at all the wonderful and different lighting effects that the residents and shop owners had conjured up, their job takes longer each year as the town grows.
St. John’s Church tree shone out like a beacon from the centre of town and the judges were very impressed with the Woolpack pub looking so resplendent in it’s Christmas dressing.

The annual Spring Bulb distribution was carried out between the 16th to 20th October to over 20 nursery schools, pre-schools and charitable organisations. Many messages of thanks have been received and it is hoped that the fruits of their labours will be proudly displayed on this website soon.
The daffodils and narcissus bulbs were again kindly donated by the Horticultural Society without whose support this would not have been possible.
