'In Bloom' - The Four Pillars
The winers of the 'In Bloom' competition must have demonstrated outstanding contributions in all of the four pillars of the Britain in Bloom campaign, of which are horticultural good practice, environmental friendliness, sustainability and community involvement.
Horticultural Good Practice
The use of plants to improve and enhace the environment. Plants provide us with food, beauty and wildlife. They provide us with a focus for our efforts, but it's not just hanging baskets.
Environmental Friendliness
The quality of your local environment can be determinded in many ways. Reducing litter, dog fouling and pollution are just some.
Sustainability
Using the resources we have carefully. Reducing, Reusing and Recycling.
Community Involvement
Community involvement determines the quality and sustainability of our environment. The use of plants, recycling initiatives and working together to enhance the area in which we live through horticulture can achieve a sustainable environment for all.
