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.

Over the past week, our spring plants have been recycled or donated and our summer display plants have been successfully planted as well as all of our baskets and containers which are now in place. Now our challenge will be to keep them all well watered and fed. Display signage is in progress or in place and our portfolio is now at the at printing stage so we are well on plan as we work towards judging. The support at our working parties continues to be high and we were delighted to welcome a another new team member recently. Graham Price |
