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.
On July 6th, Kingsbridge was judged by Tim Eley and Martin Abrahams from RHS South West in Bloom. During the visit the two judges also assessed 4 of our IYN areas. The weather was dry hot and sunny for their visit which started at the Town Square with a photo shoot of the team by the local press. This was followed by the judging tour which covered some wonderful locations. The town looked very clean and stunning throughout with co-ordinated plant colour schemes and wonderful displays which we can all be proud of. The tour finished at the Methodist Church with lunch for the team and the judges, followed by the viewing of our display.. In this, our 10th year, the effort and total commitment from everyone has been outstanding and reflected in what I consider to be our best ever entry.. We now look forward to our IYN judging on Wednesday 12th July then our post judging celebration at the Museum garden on 5th August. Thank you to everyone for keeping Kingsbridge so attractive.
