About Plymouth’s Britain in Bloom for 2023
Plymouth Waterfront Partnership Business Improvement District (PWP BID) has entered into the BID category for the 2023 South West in Bloom initiative, a regional heat of the renowned Britain in Bloom competition.
Visitors will be welcomed with colour and creative floral displays that stretch right across the waterfront from Bretonside to Southside Street, West Hoe and Millbay Park, to Royal William Yard and Mount Batten.
This year’s entry will see upcycled boats, crab pots and buoys being used as planters courtesy of Plymouth Fisheries at Sutton Harbour; and the horticultural talents of the team at Sound Site Services in creating floral themes that reflect the sea using recycled soil.
Plymouth Waterfront Partnership are going for GOLD!
