About Anglia in Bloom

Britain in Bloom is about community involvement, a sustainable approach to your local environment, and using the power of plants to green up and clean up where you live.

Anglia in Bloom is the Regional Organisation for Brtiain in Bloom.

During the year Anglia in Bloom arranges a seminar to help entrants to the competition understand the aims of the "In Bloom" process. Entrants meet with the judges, get feedback and information on ways to improve their projects and communities. The Anglia in Bloom judges personally visit each town or village and meet with as many participants as possible. The awards are made against a standard marking system with points given for each category of project or work. The Anglia in Bloom winners in each category then take part in the Britain in Bloom competition the following year.

Floral Displays - Residential & Communal gardens, Local Authority Responsibilities, Business & Commercial Responsibilities, Special Floral Displays, Entrances to the area, Community Involvement
