Friendship
Chipping in Bloom is built from a strong foundation of friendship - follow this link to find out more.
We exist through our own fundraising and through local donations. A big thank you to everyone who has helped us over the last year. In the last 12 months, we have had sufficient funds not only for plants, horticultural supplies and general maintenance of planters and seats etc, but we have also been able to replace the picnic table on the village green, buy water butts and provide an interpretation board for visitors to the Wildlife Garden at St Mary's.
Thank you for helping to keep our village looking lovely and Happy Growing everyone !
Our guiding principles are: 'REVIEW, RENEW, REVIVE, REDUCE, REPURPOSE' and every year Chipping in Bloom aims to bring new interest for residents and visitors alike, including setting an annual theme for planting in the village. We are proud to be part of the Royal Horticultural Society's North-West in Bloom and to have been selected as finalists in the 2024 Britain in Bloom competition, in which we were awarded a gold.
We are grateful to the huge numbers of residents who help our community ‘blossom’! Many local people have been directly or indirectly involved in Chipping in Bloom – whether that’s by being ‘hands on’ with building or planting, fundraising, helping on community days or by putting on their own garden displays - everyone has played a part.
