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 team's dedication working all year round has won the admiration of the town's 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.
As expected we are now well into our prep. and planting regime and everything is looking set for a successful 'bloom' campaign. The enormous effort put into planting our Spring displays has been well rewarded with a stunning show which has been well received by our community and many visitors. Today, we featured on BBC 5 Live when a listener rang in to congratulate Kingsbridge on such wonderful displays throughout the town! We now have both judging dates for the Champion of Champions Regionals and National Finals respectively and have July 31st pencilled in for our It's Your Neighbourhood assessments although there will be three areas that will be judged on our judging route. They are, the Lime Kiln, Primrose line Old Railway Bridge and the Quay Car Park beds that are planted by the Kingsbridge Gardening Club. We had a successful plant sale and children's Sunflower planting in the Recreation Ground this weekend so thanks to everyone concerned. As I mentioned earlier, the enthusiasm and determination by the team to create another good Britain in Bloom entry remains fantastic and very much appreciated. Graham Price
