2011 has seen a rebranding of the Cumbria In Bloom Competition - click here for details.
We do this through the involvement of the community
in the campaign, and by holding a communities based competition. If
you are interested in making your views known to Cumbria In Bloom then
please complete one of the questionnaires appropriate to you by
clicking here.
If you thought it was all about floral bedding and hanging baskets, think
again! Cumbria in Bloom, like the RHS' Britain
in Bloom, means taking pride in your local area. Communities that are
involved in Britain in Bloom have enjoyed many benefits. For further details
click here.
Nearly 45 communities, large and small, took part in 2011!
You can see the results on the News page. We hope to increase the number
of entrants in 2012, please see the entries page to learn more and get in touch!
