Welcome to the Norwich in Bloom Web Site

Most of the pictures on our website were taken by Team Photographers Terry Bane, Reg Chiddick, Ian Dabson, Andy Street, Jeff Taylor and

Bill Webster.

As well as being a volunteer Terry is also employed by Norwich City Council as Horticultural Officer in the Contracts Unit in Communities and Neighbourhoods designing and organising floral displays and sponsorship.

 

We hope our website images and "Bloom" initiatives will encourage your community to form your own "Bloom" Teams to help improve and sustain the environment by growing more Flowers, Trees, Wildflowers and Vegetables too.

 

We listen to and speak to many visitors and residents who remark they enjoy our Floral Highways, Parks, Gardens and Roundabouts, this all helps to encourage confidence in our aim to help develop and promote Norwich as the Floral Capital of the East of England and a green, clean, safe and colourful place to live and grow.

2007 was a fantastic year for Norwich in Bloom, we achieved a unique historic double Gold award in Ipswich at the regional Anglia in Bloom competition for small city and urban regeneration of the Chapelfield development as well as a Silver Gilt award for Town Close Ward.

 

We also received the Pentland Plant Trophy for the Best Floral Display at The Assembly House on Theatre Street, the Grow Your Own Trophy for Kerry Annison's community allotment and Bob and Sue Whitworth's Schools allotment scheme and a third Trophy for the Best Commercial grounds at Marsh plc on Queens Road.

 

In September at the national Britain in Bloom Finals in Coventry we were delighted to receive a Silver Gilt award for urban regeneration.

 

In November at the Anglia in Bloom seminar we were also announced as finalists in the 2008 Britain in Bloom Finals to be held in Chester.

 

Norwich also had the great honour of representing the UK in the international LivCom Finals held in Westminster, London achieving a Silver standard.
