Kingsbridge in South Devon is a lovely traditional market town that sits on the edge of a sea estuary surrounded by lush, green rolling countryside. That natural beauty inspired a small group of volunteers to enhance their town bringing floral colour to its very heart. In 2007 those volunteers named themselves Kingsbridge in Bloom (KIB) and ever since then the team has grown from strength to strength. The team's dedication working all year round has won the admiration of the town's community and visitors alike. Making Kingsbridge a beautiful place to live and visit. K.I.B. work in co-ordination with the"RHS Britain in Bloom" scheme. It has brought Kingsbridge success and national fame winning Britain in Bloom Gold medals and many other national accolades. Take a look at the RHS Britain in Bloom website and a summary of "How it Works"
Such praise just confirms how successful Kingsbridge in Bloom is and an inspiration to carry on and progress even further. This site will enlighten you to the activities and support Kingsbridge in Bloom embraces. Remember none of this would happen without those vital volunteers and hope the information within may encourage you to join our friendly group. Our activity brings inspiration, friendship, laughter and above all the admiration of the community that benefits from all that effort.

Hello Everyone, The KIB group have been very busy maintaining and planting over the past few weeks in preparation for our South West in Bloom judging in July. I am waiting for judges confirmation and have suggested Wednesday 17th July. Our new displays celebrating the 60th anniversary of The RHS Britain in Bloom campaign and the 200th anniversary of the RNLI are almost complete but we still have much work to do throughout the town. Our IYN areas are looking really good and I am confident that they will receive the recognition they deserve. Behind the scenes our portfolio is progressing well and signage should be completed in the next week or so. Over the past few months members have worked hard to make up for the time lost due to the poor weather and are now back on track to face the next challenging but enjoyable few weeks.
