'''RHS Britain in Bloom''' is the largest [[horticulture|horticultural]] campaign in the United Kingdom. It was first held in 1963, initiated by the [[VisitBritain|British Tourist Board]] based on the example set by Fleurissement de France (now Conseil national de villes et villages fleuris), which since 1959 has promoted the annual [[Concours des villes et villages fleuris]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/ParksAndGardens/inbloom/ib_about.asp|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080906150455/http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/ParksAndGardens/inbloom/ib_about.asp|title=Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea - About In Bloom|archivedate=6 September 2008}}</ref> It has been organised by the [[Royal Horticultural Society]] (RHS) since 2002.

The competition is entered by the communities of towns, villages and cities. [[#Structure|Different categories]] exist for various sizes of settlements. Groups are assessed for their achievements in three core pillars: Horticultural Excellence; Environmental Responsibility; and Community Participation.

Over 1,600 communities around the UK enter each year, participating in their [[#Regions|local region's]] "in Bloom" campaign. From these regional competitions, roughly 80 communities are selected to enter the national Finals of RHS Britain in Bloom.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rhs.org.uk/communities/campaigns/britain-in-bloom/about |title=Supporting communities improving their environment through gardening |publisher=rhs}}</ref>

It is a popular campaign, estimated to involve more than 200,000 volunteers in cleaning up and greening up their local area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Community-gardening/Britain-in-Bloom/New-to-Bloom/Community-campaign-statistics|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110808213028/http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Community-gardening/Britain-in-Bloom/New-to-Bloom/Community-campaign-statistics|title=RHS Britain in Bloom campaign statistics|archivedate=8 August 2011}}</ref>

Since 2002, the awards have been based on the Royal Horticultural Society's [[Royal Horticultural Society#Medals and awards|medal]] standards of Gold, Silver Gilt, Silver and Bronze;<ref>''The Garden'' (Journal of The Royal Horticultural Society), October 2002, p752</ref> the winner is the settlement judged to have most successfully met the rigorous judging criteria. Judging at the regional stage takes place around June/ July; judging for the national stage takes place in August. The results for the UK Finals are announced in September/ October. The competition covers the UK, the [[Channel Islands]] and the [[Isle of Man]].

Floral displays play an important part in the contest, but the "Bloom" title is now, perhaps, misleading: in recent years the competition has increasingly assessed how all sectors of the local community are managing their local environment.

In 2006, the RHS introduced the Neighbourhood Awards (now the [[#RHS It's Your Neighbourhood|It's Your Neighbourhood]] campaign), a grassroots sister campaign to Bloom, supporting smaller, volunteer-led community groups focused on improving their immediate environment.

==History==
The history of the 'Bloom', as it is colloquially referred to,<ref name="History">Graham Ashworth CBE, ''Britain in Bloom'', pages 7 & 8, The Tidy Britain Group (Wigan:1991)</ref> began in 1963 when [[Roy Hay (horticulturalist)|Roy Hay]] [[Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire|MBE]], a horticultural journalist, went on holiday to France during the ''Fleurissement de France'' and was enthralled by seeing the country "filled to overflowing with flowers, shrubs and trees all in full bloom". His enquiries revealed that [[Charles de Gaulle|President de Gaulle]] had given orders to brighten up the country and the French Tourist Authority had set up the ''Fleurissement de France'' in 1959 (now called ''[[Concours des villes et villages fleuris]]''). Hay was so impressed that he approached the [[British Tourist Authority]] (BTA), and he and Len Lickorish,<!-- check spelling – it is different in list below --> then Director General of the BTA, set up a committee to run a British version, "Britain in Bloom".  It was piloted by the British Tourist Authority in 1963 ([[Lewisham]] being part of that pilot<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/NewsAndEvents/CommunicationsCentre/PressReleases/LewishamInBloomHeroesPickUpAwards.htm|title=Lewisham in Bloom heroes pick up awards|accessdate=9 March 2024}}</ref>), and went national in 1964.

Many organisations were invited to help, including: [[The Automobile Association]]; London Tourist Board; [[National Farmers Union (England and Wales)|National Farmers' Union]]; London Parks; Institute of Parks and Recreation Administration; National Association of Rural Communities; [[Royal Horticultural Society]]; [[Royal Automobile Club]]; The Tourist Boards of [[English Tourist Board|England]], [[Scottish Tourist Board|Scotland]] and [[Welsh Tourist Board|Wales]]; The [[National Federation of Women's Institutes]]; [[Civic Voice|Civic Trust]]; [[Keep Britain Tidy Group]]; the Flowers and Plants Council; The Horticultural Trades Association; The British Hotels and Restaurants Association; The Society of Town Clerks; [[Townswomen's Guild]] and [[British Airways]]. Despite this impressive list, Roy Hay later reflected that the initial reaction of the horticultural trade and local authorities was lukewarm.<ref name="History"/>

Nevertheless, regional committees were quickly formed, and in 1964 [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]] became the first national winner. From 1964 to 1969 inclusive there was an overall national winner. From 1970, however, the competition was divided up into a range of categories, because of the difficulty of comparing settlements of different sizes fairly.<ref name="History"/>

The British Tourist Authority managed the competition until 1983 when the Government Department sponsoring the BTA felt that it should relinquish the responsibility. The [[Tidy Britain Group]] (the group responsible for the [[Keep Britain Tidy]] campaign, now known as [[EnCams]]) took over; it already had a long association with the competition. To mark the changeover, 1983 was celebrated as "Beautiful Britain in Bloom Year".<ref name="History"/> Sir [[Lawrie Barratt]] of [[Barratt Developments]] expressed his support to the Tidy Britain Group for the competition and provided sponsorship until 1989.

More categories and awards were added, in part reflecting a greater range of settlements, but also to recognise other elements of horticulture, including landscaping, and also to recognise the strenuous efforts to beautify the urban areas of the larger cities. [[McDonald's]] began sponsoring the competition from 1990, which led to focus on littering behaviour and the implementation of a Children's Painting Competition Calendar.<ref name="History"/> In 2001, the event was organised jointly by EnCams and the [[Royal Horticultural Society]], and from November 2001 the RHS took full control as the organising body of Britain in Bloom.<ref name="Woolton">{{Cite web|url=http://wooltonvillageuk.tripod.com/woolton%20in%20bloom.htm|title=Woolton in Bloom|accessdate=9 March 2024}}</ref>

In 2017, after winning Britain in Bloom Champion of Champions, Elswick admitted to having previously cheated in the competition three years earlier. The volunteers engaged a specialist company to design a display which came in ready assembled trays. <ref>{{Cite news |last=Ward |first=Victoria |date=2017-10-28 |title=Britain in Bloom winning Lancashire village claims it once 'cheated' by getting ready made displays delivered |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/28/britain-bloom-winning-lancashire-village-claims-cheated-getting/ |access-date=2024-04-20 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235}}</ref>

The competition currently has twelve entry categories, most of which are determined by population size. Within each category, similarly sized communities compete across a spectrum of horticultural endeavour, community participation and environmental responsibility, which includes dealing with issues of litter, graffiti and vandalism.<ref name="Woolton"/>

==Judging==
RHS Britain in Bloom encompasses [[#Regions|18 Regions/ Nations]] (12 English regions, as well as [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Northern Ireland]], [[Isle of Man]], [[Jersey]] and [[Guernsey]]).

Judging takes place over two years in two stages:

#''Regional competition'': Entries are first submitted by voluntary local 'Bloom' Committees, depending upon the area, to Local Authorities, Town or Parish Councils. These communities take part in their regional competition, for example South West in Bloom. The local volunteers are colloquially known as ''"bloomers"''.<ref name="Ind"/> Judging takes place in June/July, and winners are announced during local presentations between August and November.

#''UK-wide'': After the judging of the regional stage, Committees representing their nation/region select entrants for the second UK-wide stage. To ensure that effort is sustained over time, this second stage of judging takes place in August the year after they qualify. Winners of the UK judging are announced at a prestigious ceremony in September/October.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rhs.org.uk/get-involved/britain-in-bloom|title=Britain in Bloom / RHS Gardening|website=www.rhs.org.uk}}</ref>

==RHS It's Your Neighbourhood==

RHS It's Your Neighbourhood<ref>{{Cite web |title=RHS It's Your Neighbourhood |url=http://www.rhs.org.uk/itsyourneighbourhood |website=RHS Gardening}}</ref> is part of the wider RHS Britain in Bloom initiative, helping volunteer-led groups to improve their local area. Any group can take part, as long as it is volunteer-led and involved in hands-on community gardening. It should also be working with the community for the benefit of the community. Participating groups care for all sorts of spaces - from local parks and gardens, to odd grot-spots which have been transformed and shared residential spaces or alleyways.

The campaign was launched by the RHS in 2006 to support grassroots community gardening and there are currently more than 1,300 registered groups. <sup>(2012)</sup>

The initiative works around the same three pillars of assessment as RHS Britain in Bloom: Community Participation, Gardening Achievement and Environmental Responsibility; however, it is not a competitive campaign. Participating groups receive an annual visit from an It's Your Neighbourhood assessor, who provides feedback and tips for how to develop projects, and each group receives a certificate of achievement from the RHS.

It's Your Neighbourhood is free to enter and open to groups of all sizes.

==Source of civic pride==
[[File:GuildfordWelcomeSign.jpg|thumbnail|right|Guildford welcome sign displaying Britain in Bloom credentials|250px]]
Winning a category within Britain in Bloom at a national or even regional level has proved to be a source of considerable civic pride for the towns, cities and villages involved. Many of the authorities of the winning locations do advertise their achievements on signs within, or more predominantly on the outskirts of their settlement. One journalist stated that "Since Britain In Bloom began in 1963 … nothing has pleased town councillors more than to hammer up a sign at the outskirts of their kingdom trumpeting superiority to incoming visitors… Few events provide a sterner test of civic pride."<ref name="Ind">{{Cite web|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/flower-power-the-britain-in-bloom-phenomenon-460698.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070629055833/http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/flower-power-the-britain-in-bloom-phenomenon-460698.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-06-29|title=archive.ph|website=archive.ph}}</ref> Examples include [[Garstang]] where the sign that leads to the high street at the heart of the town says, above the name "Garstang", ''Britain In Bloom Small Town – Gold Award Winners 2002, 2005'', and "''Invitation Finalists to Champion of Champions 2006''",<ref name="Ind"/> or [[Guildford]], which advertises its past triumph in the Town category on its welcome signs.
