It creates lasting improvements to local environments, through the imaginative planting of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping, conservation and recycling projects and to sweep away eyesores that blight our streets such as litter, graffiti and vandalism for the benefit of local residents, workers and visitors, now and for future generations to enjoy.   Since 1963 Britain in Bloom has been part of the UK’s cultural and horticultural landscape, impacting an estimated eight million residents in communities throughout the British Isles.     

Volunteer for Downham in Bloom

The Downham in Bloom Committee is in need of volunteers to come forward to help us tidy up the Town in preparation for the arrival on the Anglia in Bloom judges.
For the past few years Downham Market has been awarded a Silver Gilt Award in the prestigious Anglia in Bloom competition. Whilst we’re very proud of this achievement, we really believe that our town deserves to win gold this year. To do this, we need the community to come together to help us tidy up some key areas of the town that we’re including in this year’s judging route.
These include Sounding Alley, Church Road, and the Memorial Garden, among other areas. We need help with various tasks including graffiti removal, litter picks, general sweeping and tidying and gardening and grounds maintenance.    Find out more & get involved…
