What is Britain in Bloom and how does it work?
Organised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), Britain in Bloom is the nation’s largest year-round gardening competition.
In Bloom community groups across the UK are encouraged to use gardening to transform their local areas and can enter one of sixteen regional and national Britain in Bloom competitions (whichever is closest), where they are given the opportunity to showcase their gardening projects. The highest-performing entries can then be nominated to take part in the UK Finals, which usually takes place in autumn.
We’re proud that Amberol products play a role in supporting communities deliver planting schemes that help make the UK’s villages, towns, and cities flourish.
Good luck to all finalists!
To all finalists: good luck from everyone at Amberol.
Your passion, creativity and dedication continue to inspire, and we look forward to celebrating your achievements as the competition progresses.
