South West in Bloom  

South West in Bloom is one of 17 regions that make up Britain in Bloom, the biggest horticultural campaign in Europe. The aim of the campaign is to inspire community groups in our Towns, Cities and Village to make positive changes to their local area, by improving and regenerating local environments, through the imaginative planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping, conservation and recycling projects, and to sweep away the eyesores that blight our streets, such as litter, graffiti and vandalism.

My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to everyone involved with South West in Bloom 2025! Another year of outstanding contributions towards maintaining and improving the environment, floral features and the lives in communities throughout our 'Blooming South West Region'.

I feel that we have a continued and wonderful opportunity through South West in Bloom, to bring about even greater positive change through our regional projects, helping to promote the importance of our environment and the value of plants and horticulture and the positive effect they have on people and all our commuities in our brilliant South West region.

The RHS Britain in Bloom campaign has been running now for over 6 decades, and during this time community gardening has brought so many people together, making new friends, getting to know your neighbours, and to forge stronger and more resiliant commuity networks. It's never been a more exciting and rewarding time to become involved with South West in Bloom!

Never under estimate 'The Power of Flowers!'
