Welcome!

East Grinstead in Bloom is a group of local residents whose aims are to improve the local environment for the benefit of all. It is aligned with South & South East in Bloom, which in turn reflects the aims of Britain in Bloom, a long-standing environmental enterprise.

Britain in Bloom is the largest horticultural campaign in Europe and each year involves hundreds of enthusiastic communities across the UK, from the smallest village to the largest city.

Lasting improvements to their local environments through horticultural good practice, environmental friendliness, community involvement and sustainability are the aims.

This campaign encompasses floral displays, permanent landscaping, biodiversity, street and neighborhood cleanliness, recycling promotion and encouraging all forms of community participation. Find out how YOU can join in.

Displays in bloom for judging

THE colourful floral displays around East Grinstead were in full bloom for inspection on Tuesday last week.

Judges from South East in Bloom visited the town, taking in the views of East Court and the town centre. The judges also looked around the grounds of town centre schools.

Town council clerk Chris Rolley said: “All the feedback has been really positive from the judges, but we will just have to wait and see.”

The results of South East in Bloom will be announced in September.
