TOWNS and villages across the Isle of Wight are being invited to roll up their sleeves to help make their communities bloom.

New and potential entrants to south and south-east in bloom, including local authorities, parishes and community groups are being invited to attend a free seminar for a chance to talk with experienced entrants and residents to learn more about the competition which will be judged from July 4 to 15.

The seminar for Isle of Wight entries will be held at Yelf's Hotel in Union Street, Ryde on Wednesday, March 30.
