Welcome to the South West in Bloom Website
Congratulations and many thanks to everyone in South West in Bloom for an outstanding contribution towards maintaining and improving the environment, floral features and the lives in communities throughout the region.
It’s Your Neighbourhood has maintained reasonable levels and there are many examples of where all your efforts have had a real impact.
The future is bright, localism, food production and climate change concerns are areas for us all to address. In this regard I am pleased to note that the RHS is continuing to invest in communities and are reviewing its staff teams, and initiatives to recognise what you all do in the widest sense.
Our Annual Awards Presentations are always well attended and are a fantastic way for our Bloom, IYN Community Groups, Businesses and Park Teams to come together with our Judges and celebrate everyone's acheivements and success over the past year.
Social media provides a massive opportunity whereby we can communicate our values, aspirations and outcomes to it's full extent. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram and spread the word!
Chelsea in 2023 was another profile rousing event for SWIB, and to everyone involved, please accept my most sincere thanks for all your support.
As to the future, I feel that we have a wonderful opportunity to promote change through our National and Regional projects. We can address diversity, the environment but not forget the value of plants and horticulture and their effect on people in our brilliant South West region.
Many thanks,
Jon Wheatley
Chairman South West in Bloom
