Kingsbridge in South Devon is a lovely traditional market town that sits on the edge of a sea estuary surrounded by lush, green rolling countryside. That natural beauty inspired a small group of volunteers to enhance their town bringing floral colour to its very heart. In 2007 those volunteers named themselves Kingsbridge in Bloom (KIB) and ever since then the team has grown from strength to strength. The teams dedication working all year round has won the admiration of the towns community and visitors alike. Making Kingsbridge a beautiful place to live and visit. 
Such praise just confirms how successful Kingsbridge in Bloom is and an inspiration to carry on and progress even further. This site will enlighten you to the activities and support Kingsbridge in Bloom embraces. Remember none of this would happen without those vital volunteers and hope the information within may encourage you to join our friendly group. Our activity brings inspiration, friendship, laughter and above all the admiration of the community that benefits from all that effort.
What a great show of planting in Kingsbridge this year and our displays everywhere still look fabulous thanks to the hard work of our great team. As time goes on we will continue to look after everything and remove when appropriate for either recycling or composting. We are now beginning to reap the benefits of our composting area and must keep to a strict management routine. With that in mind, more detailed instructions are now displayed in that area. We are all looking forward to receiving our RHS SWIB results which will be announced on October 5th at the awards function which this year will be held at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. Fifteen members of the KIB team will be going so it will be quite an occasion and a good way to support our lovely town. Much thought has already been given to our 2018 campaign and we are well placed to move forward with confidence. We are also looking forward to addressing some of the ongoing issues for the parks and public open spaces in Kingsbridge and a meeting is intended to be called by Kingsbridge Town Council in the near future with all of the relevant parties, aimed at clarifying the situation. As Autumn approaches we will be busy organising our Winter/Spring displays. Thank you all again for your ongoing enthusiasm and support. Graham Price |
