Benefits of Bloom
There are many direct and obvious benefits to you, your street, your village, town or city getting involved with Heart of England in Bloom.
You can start with a neighbourhood entry just to get a feel for what is involved and meet others taking that first step - see how you like it and then enter the campaign proper.
What you will also find is a family of enthusiastic, friendly people of all walks of life from across the region that all want to help do something positive for their communities.

- An increase in civic pride through local people taking on planning and management of their local environments
- Long-term improvement in their local environment through year-round planting, floral displays and high levels of cleanliness
- A boost to the local economy through increased tourism, commerce and house prices
- Significant and long term regeneration of disadvantaged areas
- Stimulation of voluntary work and co-operation between community groups and between the local authority and local people
