Cumbria in Bloom is a charitable organisation whose aim is the promotion, improvement and understanding of horticulture, floricluture and environmental issues for the benefit of the inhabitants of Cumbria.
We do this through the involvement of the community, and by holding a communities
based competition.
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.
Over 50 communities, large and small, took part in 2007! You can see the results on the News page. We hope to increase the number of entrants in 2008, please see the entries
page to learn more and get in touch!
