Dunstable in Bloom.

Dunstable in Bloom. Dunstable in Bloom is a volunteer led group working closely with the Dunstable Town Council to provide vibrant successful floral displays.

We host an annual in bloom competition encouraging residents, businesses, schools and care homes to take part. Dunstable In Bloom
Dunstable In Bloom is a sub-group of Promoting Dunstable. This is an umbrella organisation that brings together many volunteer groups throughout the town, with the aim of undertaking projects which promote Dunstable. Promoting Dunstable and the Town Council are proud t

o work together on a variety of initiatives, in particular, Dunstable In Bloom. The Dunstable In Bloom committee is a group of people, representing voluntary organisations and the Town Council. Our aim is to make Dunstable a place that people enjoy living in or visiting. We achieve this by raising awareness of the environmental benefits of attractive floral displays, clean streets, well kept open spaces and communities working together around our town. This year, 2014, was our fifth entry into the Anglia In Bloom competition. It was, again, a great success in fostering co-operation between groups of people who would not otherwise work together. We have won three gold awards so far and are aiming to win gold again next year. Our record at Anglia In Bloom award ceremonies :-
2010 Gold and Best New Entry
2011 Gold
2012 Silver-Gilt
2013 Gold
2014 Silver-Gilt
Every Spring, we start our In Bloom Campaign with a Launch Event. One year we had Barry Norman as our guest star, another year we planted out the Physic Garden in Priory Gardens and one year we were in Frenchs Avenue with an Olympic Gold Medal winner planting wildflowers. This year our launch was in Grove House Gardens where we created a new gold and yellow shrub border designed to attract pollinating insects.

One of our sponsors this year is celebrating their 60th year in the town.

We are really grateful to The Quadrant Shopping Centre and their Centre Manager Diane, for supporting the In Bloom journey over many years.

The floral displays of recent years have been a great demonstration of partnership working between themselves, Dunstable Town Council and members of Dunstable in Bloom.

Now into their fourth year of barrel planting in the Quadrant, the team have also come on board as a sponsor to the local competition.

The Quadrant host a number of events through the year including their 60th Anniversary Celebration Day which will be held on Saturday 6th June and the very popular annual Dinosaur Day on 25th July.

Where’s Wally continues … he’s been out and about again, causing mayhem with Simon B Basford.

Hasn’t it been a glorious week, lots of blue skies and much warmer weather …

The gardens need a little rain, which is forecasted for the week ahead but let’s hope it won’t be long before we are back to long dry hot summer days …

The Quadrant Shopping Centre are one of our local sponsors this year and have been fully supportive of the In Bloom journey for the last few years. Each year they arrange to have hanging baskets on display throughout the centre. In more recent years Dunstable in Bloom. have worked with them to provide barrels of plants to increase the floral contributions. The Quadrant forms a very important part of the judging tours each year for Anglia in Bloom as a hub of our community life.
This year we are looking forward to our planting day and for the added extras that are being created to welcome people to the Quadrant.
