Registered in England and Wales No. 02588109. Registered Charity No. 1003108 The RHS have given Britain in Bloom a new theme for the next three years: GREENER STREETS – BETTER LIVES. An attractive environment certainly improves people's lives and your Village in Bloom team is striving to do exactly that! Fran Lee – Co-ordinator on behalf of Acocks Green Village in Bloom team Contact: fran.lee47@yahoo.co.uk Telephone: 0121 706 0076 Acocks Green has been entering the Britain in Bloom campaign since 2012 and a team of volunteers work hard every year to help make the most of our area. Britain in Bloom is organised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and was introduced 51 years ago to raise interest in flowers and plants and to encourage people to improve their environment. It was inspired by the floral enhancement that is commonplace in France and the RHS aim to encourage Britain to do the same. Every area that enters the campaign, will receive a visit from the RHS Judges who award marks to each area. Marks are awarded for horticultural excellence and improvements to the environment, with great importance being placed on community participation. The Acocks Green Village in Bloom team engage with local schools and churches, the businesses in the village, the Scouts, Birmingham City Council, and other neighbourhood groups. The aim is to raise the profile of the campaign and encourage local people to improve their surroundings. More importantly it inspires different parts of the community to work together, not only to bring about change and improvements but, in days of a faster pace of life, it also helps people to communicate with others in their community and promote a feeling of belonging. The Acocks Green Bloom team will be at Stockfield Fun day to talk to locals about the work which is being carried out in our area to make it a better place for people to live. We are always looking for more people to join in the campaign, so please come along and meet the volunteers. There will be a chance to sow some seeds to take away, a great introduction to gardening for new gardeners. Plant Swap There will also have a Plant Swap. If you have too much of a certain type of plant in your garden then dig some up and bring them along (with a label). Share your successes with your neighbourhood. In turn you may be rewarded with new varieties for your garden.
