Mansfield in Bloom
Mansfield in Bloom is an exciting campaign aimed at improving the town's environment for all who live, work and visit Mansfield
Mansfield in Bloom is led by Mansfield District Council but has a huge involvement with schools, businesses, residents and community groups all over the district. Judges look out for many things including community involvement, horticultural expertise, waste and recycling initiatives, schools involvement and nature conservation. Over the years we have built up a good record and had great success in the East Midlands in Bloom regional competition, winning a number of Gold medal over the last few years. This year sees Mansfield District Council re-entering the campaign after a year away.
