Britain in Bloom
Bloom up your streets all year round
Britain in Bloom encourages all to make the UK a more beautiful place to live through imaginative planting, cleanliness, sustainability and community effort.
There are many categories in Britain in Bloom to suit whether you come from a village, town, large city or coastal resort. Many Britain in Bloom entries are formed by community groups that are already established or are led by the local authority in the area. Many are formed when a few motivated people get together to start a new group.
Your first step to getting started is to download the Britain in Bloom starter pack, identify your region or nation and contact your nearest coordinator. You will receive information about the local campaign and details of activities in your area.
