    Londons Gardens & Gardeners

    The efforts of London’s’ Gardeners can be seen all across London and each year judges are amazed at the number and quality of the gardens they are shown. But if you are proud of your front garden or a balcony and your Borough does not have an Annual Bloom Competition or does not participate in London in Bloom how can you get involved? This year for the first time London in Bloom is opening up the competition to all Front Garden owners whether it’s a formal or wildlife garden or even a front garden with veg or maybe a combination of all …

    Londons Parks & Greenspaces

    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 …

New London in Bloom

London in Bloom has always been about London's Boroughs and the work of Borough Councils, but since the mid 2000’s all of that has changed. While we welcome London Boroughs continuing to support and enter the "Bloom" we have many other options for those who are looking in a different direction these days. Since 2006 London in Bloom has managed the RHS It’s Your Neighbourhood Scheme and last year we reached 75 entries for the first time and with one being recognised at the UK Britain in Bloom Finals. Since 2008 we have encouraged Town Centre Managers to put forward their Town Centres and for the last three years we have welcomed BIDS (Business Improvement Districts) with London Bridge being awarded honours at the Britain in Bloom National Finals in 2011 and have been nominated by London in Bloom again this year. London in Bloom has identified 100’s of Villages and Towns that made up London before the changes in 1966 which brought about the London Boroughs, and as we appreciate how important and unique your Village or Town is we are launching new categories to encourage these wonderful places to get involved with London & Britain in Bloom.

Entries 2013

London in Bloom is still open for 2013. For more information please contact us:

It’s Your Neighbourhood

people in streets, estates or residents associations, in fact anywhere where people work together for the benefit of the local area. We have groups who are improving their local Greenspaces, Park, and schools, everyone can get involved.

An It’s Your Neighbourhood Group needs to be hands-on, involving local people (no specific number required) and being involved in Gardening, The environment and working in their community.
No need for grand schemes or large sums of money, just a willingness to make an improvement. All groups no matter what stage they are at will receive an RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) certificate appropriate to their stage of development. The RHS Britain in Bloom certificate is awarded at 5 levels from just starting out (level 1) to outstanding (level 5) there is even a chance for the very best group in each regions to be nominated to receive an award at the Britain in Bloom Finals each year.
All you need to do is talk to your neighbours or access your local community gardening group, School, or Park Friends Group and fill in a simple form; you then become a registered group. Once that is done we will arrange to visit you usually in July to assess your progress.

So what stopping you?
