About Us
The Nottingham in Bloom campaign is a city-wide partnership which includes residents, businesses, schools, community groups and a wide range of volunteers.
Our aim is to encourage more people to get involved to improve their local area. Together we work hard to produce horticultural excellence and enhance the local landscape, the environment and the character of Nottingham.
