East Midlands in Bloom is an annual competition organised by the EMIB Regional Committee, and is the Regional Competition of 'Britain in Bloom'

LOUGHBOROUGH ACHIEVED A SILVER AWARD IN THE 2009 EMIB COMPETITION.

The aim of the competition is to encourage the improvement of our surroundings through the imaginative use of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping. It also aims to achieve a litter free and sustainable environment. This links directly to the RHS four key themes which are:

• Horticultural Excellence
• Community Involvement
• Environmental Friendliness
• Sustainability

By taking on board the above criteria and using the whole community to get involved many communities have reported the following benefits:-

• Increase in Civic Pride through local people taking on the planning and management of their environment
• Long term improvement in their local environment through planting floral displays and improved cleanliness
• A boost to the local economy through increased tourism
• Regeneration of disadvantaged areas
• Stimulation of voluntary work and co-operation between community groups
• A means to address issues such as sustainability, recycling, minimising waste
