This time of year is when the Wymondham in Bloom team kicks into high gear, to begin preparing for judging day in July. The theme for this year’s campaign will be Flower Power, in honour of the 60th Anniversary of Britain in Bloom. The RHS is also celebrating friendship this year, sharing many stories of how the in Bloom movement brings people together, creating lifelong friendships.

The volunteers haven’t been hibernating over the winter, instead lots of weeding and cutting back overgrown plants has been done, followed by plenty of hot tea and lunches. If you’d like to join upcoming volunteer sessions make sure to follow Wymondham in Bloom on Facebook or contact us on the details below to join our Whatsapp group. We aim to have weekly sessions on Monday at 10:00 from 13th May onwards, plus further ad hoc sessions in good weather.

Planting plans have been drawn up and we are pleased to be working together with the Town Council on choosing plants for their 34 tubs in the town centre.

For 2024’s campaign to have a similar impact as previous years, we are seeking businesses to sponsor us this year. We are unfortunately not eligible for a grant this time round, so there is a significant financial challenge we need support with.

If you know of a business who may be able to help us do good in the community, and would like some positive publicity, please email wymbloom@gmail.com or ring 07941 514 766.

We are also very happy to work with any businesses who want to organise a collaborative volunteering event for their team.
