The History of Bloom

Fareham in Bloom brought our community together for over 25 years, improving green spaces, creating new and exciting planting schemes and colouring the Borough's landscape with bright floral displays.

From project work and community gardening, to environmental and landscape improvements, all had a focus on maintaining and developing horticultural excellence in partnership with our dedicated volunteers and the local community. The scheme was sponsored by St Margaret's Nurseries, Titchfield, from the day it began.

Since its start in 1996, Fareham in Bloom became something very special and highly respected, involving thousands of people - it really became part of the fabric of our community. It grew into a well known and successful gardening campaign encouraging local communities, from private garden owners to large businesses, to provide bright and colourful planting schemes. It raised the profile of our parks and green spaces and developed a sense of community spirit and local pride.
