Harrogate has won every major ‘In Bloom’ competition since the awards began more than forty years ago.

 

The criteria for the competitions have changed over the years and currently 40% marks are for horticulture, 30% marks are for environmental matters and 30% marks are for community matters. In 2015 Harrogate in Bloom made a conscious effort to involve like-minded community groups to ensure we met all these requirements. 

​

We are now an established organisation including community groups, the Harrogate BID, the Harrogate Chamber of Commerce and North Yorkshire Council.
