Welcome to:
KINGSBRIDGE IN BLOOM​

A website dedicated to this fantastic group of volunteers who look after Kingsbridge Town all year round with floral displays for the enjoyment of all. They are motivated and take pride in the daily feedback of residents and visitors who just love what they do for this town. 

​
​

NOTE!
HOME PAGE HAS TECHNICAL ISSUES CURRENTLY AND UNDER REVIEW- SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE

​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.

K.I.B. work in co-ordination with the"RHS Britain in Bloom" scheme. It has brought Kingsbridge success and national fame winning Britain in Bloom Gold medals and many other national accolades. Click here to take a look at the RHS Britain in Bloom website, particularly the home page video, to inspire you to join us!

​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.

KIB Chairman's Message
August 2017

Now is the time to take a little relaxation and enjoy the wonderful horticultural displays throughout Kingsbridge after a busy July.
The work that we have all put in seems well worth it with the town looking at it's very best and in my opinion and that of many others, the best ever.
The judging for the main town and IYN entries went very well on the 5th and 15th July respectively and we now await the outcome of our efforts in October.
The awards function will take place at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay on 6th October. There is no restrictions on numbers so we hope to get good support from everyone. The cost will be £18 which will include lunch and refreshments.
On reflection it has not been easy to manage the project through no fault of our own but at the very least we now have a better idea of how will move forward for the future.
Finally, Thank you again to all of you who continue to support us with the watering and maintenance of our displays. I do not have the date for when the Recreation Park will be judged for the RHS awards  for 2017 but will make everyone aware when it becomes available.
I hope to see you all at our picnic celebration on Saturday 6th August at the Museum Garden.
