Alnwick in Bloom’s vision is to improve the appearance of Alnwick, making it a more attractive place for residents and visitors.
Our strategy is to:
• To create opportunities that encourages involvement from all sections of the community and offer advice and support to stimulate initiatives. This includes visiting schools, offering financial assistance, planning and practical help.
• To pursue a policy of continuous improvement in the provision and maintenance of sustainable public, private and commercial planting schemes, consistent with the historic market town of Alnwick.
• To do this we work on an annual action plan to:
o Encourage interest from all sectors of the community, including schools and community groups, by promoting competitions, providing advice, practical assistance, planning and design and, where feasible, financial assistance
o Promote sustainable practices in all activities
o Provide opportunities and encouragement and work with other organisations for community involvement in maintaining civic pride
o Create partnerships with the commercial and public sectors.
• Work with Alnwick Town Council and Northumberland County Council to ensure that high standards are achieved for the following:
o Mown grass plots
o Formal floral beds
o Formal shrubs and rose beds
o Decorative floral displays
o Fixed planting containers
o Temporary planting containers, eg hanging baskets
o Tree planting and maintenance
We recognise that as a small committee with a modest budget, community engagement and partnership working are crucial to our success.
