The spring season of Wymondham in Bloom has continued to bring joy to the volunteer team and excitement for the summer is growing. It has been a relatively dry spring so a fair bit of watering has had to be done to keep the plants happy.

The watering equipment has been upgraded this year with a huge bladder that fits in the boot of a Qashqai and several water butts. Weeds too have been tackled with a new rotary brush tool. All the new equipment has been purchased thanks to generous sponsorship from The White Hart, a community-minded pub in Wymondham town centre. We’ve even purchased new high-vis vests from Mr. Overalls to ensure everyone is aware the work we’re doing is being done by volunteers.

The team continues to go out at least once per week for a few hours to keep weeds and litter at bay and plants thriving. We’ve added bulbs and pocket parks as well as beautiful rose bushes which were donated by Peter Beales.

Our high street business frontage competition has begun with 14 places already signed up to participate. To sign up businesses can go to wymondhamtownteam.org/wym-in-bloom-2025 and fill in the form at the bottom of the page.

If you are walking around town and find yourself pointing out some graffiti on a wall or vape stickers on a bin, you might be our next volunteer! Come and join the team for a bit of fun and sense of achievement in the fresh air. Email wymbloom@gmail.com or message us on Facebook to start a conversation on how you might be able to get involved.
