Royal Leamington Spa Town Council has announced the relaunch of Leamington in Bloom as the Leamington in Bloom Partnership.

This is being unveiled alongside a refreshed logo that celebrates both the town's Regency heritage and its fabulous green spaces.

The new partnership brings together local environmental and community groups from across the town. It includes 12 associate members, representing the following organisations:

• ARC

• Action 21

• Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

• Bee Friendly Leamington

• Rewilding Brunswick

• Leam Trash Friends

• The Sydni Centre

• Brunswick Hub

• CLEAN

• All Saints Church Labyrinth

• Friends of Midland Oak Park

• Friends of Black Lane

• Paintings Plantation

• Cycleways

• Social Gardening

This year, Leamington in Bloom will lead a range of initiatives and projects,

including the Green Grants Scheme, which offers six grants of £200 to support the

creation and development of community gardens, wildlife areas, vegetable plots,

animal habitats, and other biodiversity improvements.

The town will be entering into the Heart of England in Bloom competition, which

includes a judges' tour of green spaces across the town. A photographic competition

will launch towards the end of May and run until August, while the commercial premises

competition for Leamington business will take place in June.

The programme also includes a stall at Art in the Park this summer and a revamp of the Packington Place pocket park.

Leamington in Bloom – Open Afternoon

This March, Leamington in Bloom will host an Open Afternoon at the Town Hall, Parade,

from 12–3pm.

The event will bring together a wide range of local environmental and

community groups, each showcasing their work and future projects through individual

stalls.

Open to all residents and visitors, the afternoon will provide an opportunity to

learn more about the initiatives planned for the year ahead and "discover how to get

involved in helping to make Leamington an even greener and more vibrant town."

Refreshments and free children's activities will be available throughout the event.
