“All involved are absolutely delighted in winning the awards.”
North West in Bloom is the voluntary regional organisation that administers the Britain in Bloom competition in Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, and is one of the 18 regions and Nations that comprise Britain in Bloom.
Britain in Bloom is one of the most effective, and longest running environmental competitions in the UK and each year it grows in size and importance and involves more people, groups and organisations within the community.
Since 1964, communities from across the North West have demonstrated their ability to create and maintain attractive environments that benefit residents and visitors alike.
