London's Parks, Country Parks, Gardens and Greenspaces are the heart and lungs and the glue that binds our campaigns together and therefore naturally London in Bloom recognises these special places at our Annual Awards. Infinitely variable, from large open spaces to small, intimate gardens offering peace and quiet just for sitting and enjoying the scenery, or for more energetic pastimes such as sport and children’s play - Parks provide it all.
London Boroughs have entered various categories of Parks and Commons and last year Cemeteries …

Since London in Bloom started in the 1960’s businesses have been involved in brightening up our High Streets and Town Centres across London. Business who make a contribution to their Borough or Town can either enter through the Borough Competition (phone your Town Hall or Civic Centre) and ask about the Borough in Bloom campaign, but what do you do if there is not a local competition or the Borough does not participate in London in Bloom - what then?
In 2012 Businesses can now enter their premises directly into London in Bloom. So …

London in Bloom is still taking registrations for the RHS - Britain in Bloom - It's Your Neighbourhood Scheme.
For more information or entry details please contact us:
Email: anne@londoninbloom.co.uk
P/F: 020 8662 1021
or contact us via the bottom of this page.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Involvement in the campaign brings many benefits, which can include:
An increase in civic pride through local people taking on the planning and management of their local environment.
A boost to the local economy through increased visitor numbers.
Long-term improvement to the local environment through planting, floral displays and high levels of cleanliness.
Regeneration of disadvantaged areas.
A means to address issues such as sustainability, recycling, minimising waste and energy conservation.
Stimulation of voluntary work and co-operation between community groups.
The scheme is free to enter and supports volunteer-led community groups that are greening their local area, whether by looking after a nearby garden, park, or wildlife site, or by establishing a local food growing initiative. Or perhaps you just want to join with your neighbours to improve the look of your street.
There are currently over 50 Its Your Neighbourhood Groups across London representing residents’ associations, ‘Friends of’ groups, youth groups, faith groups, groups based in hospitals or residential homes.
Participants are encouraged to work towards three key goals: community participation; environmental responsibility and good gardening (guidance is offered in each of these areas). Participants receive an annual visit to check up on their progress. In this way the scheme offers on-going support, enabling groups to develop at their own pace while keeping up momentum and interest.
Don’t worry if your local Council does not run an "in Bloom" competition or campaign or your Borough does not participate in London in Bloom you can still get involved. We have opened up four categories to direct entry and these are: Front Garden of the Year; Pub or Restaurant of the Year, Best Business Premises of the Year and Corporate Landscape of the Year.
