Picture
​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.

Chairman's Message
January 2019
A touch of Spring!
 I do hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. It really lifts the spirits  to see our early daffodils on the Embankment in  full bloom over the holiday period, reminding us that hopefully Spring is not too far away!
We all look forward to another successful Britain in Bloom entry for what  will be a rather special year for the town as it will be celebrating the 800th anniversary of our Royal Charter to  hold a market.
Kingsbridge in Bloom has planned for this anniversary to be celebrated as part of our main theme this year which wil be to celebrate the wonderful wildlife that we have in Devon. In addition, there are exciting plans for much of the town's people to come together for this celebration.
I mentioned in my previous reports that much work has already been done  to plan for this  year's campaign with  such things as  plant colours /designs and schemes which are essentially in place.
This month, we will also be meeting with some of the local people who will be assisting us to create some of the rather special features in our displays.I will also be contacting some of the businesses  and various volunteer groups who have been so supportive with sponsorship in the past and without who's  help we could not look to continue with our ongoing work to keep the town attractive and vibrant.
In the meantime, the  year round maintenance of our displays will continue so that we are well placed for the start of our 2019 campaign.
