Bloom and Grow 2010

North West in Bloom competition

North West in Bloom is part of Britain in Bloom - one of the longest running and well known environmental competitions in the United Kingdom.

The competition encourages the improvement of our surroundings through the imaginative use of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping. It is also about creating a litter free and sustainable environment.
