Bath BID in Bloom

Thank you to our major sponsors, SRA Architects, Hawksmoor Investment Management and Whittard of Chelsea

What is Britain in Bloom?

Britain in Bloom combines 18 regional competitions including South West in Bloom to make up the biggest horticultural campaign in Europe. The aim is to improve and regenerate our local environments, through the imaginative planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping, conservation and recycling projects, and to sweep away litter, graffiti and vandalism.

This year is the 60th anniversary of Britain in Bloom and Bath won the first one in 1964! In celebration of this, the awards ceremony will be taking place on 8th October in Bath Pavilion.

Bath is being entered for three categories in the competition – the regional South West in Bloom category on 9 July, our BID category which was judged on Wednesday 24 July, and the national Britain in Bloom category on August 14th.

Some of the highlights on the Bath BID in Bloom route include the innovative Southgate installations, Mr Doodle’s telephone box, the Bath in Bloom volunteers’ Manvers Street Flower Beds, the beautiful Parade Gardens, Wild Walcot Garden, Broad Street Place Community Garden, the welcoming Parklets on Milsom Street and the huge array of hanging baskets and planters around the city that are installed or sponsored by businesses and B&NES Council.
