Kinnesswood in Bloom

Gold

The main aim of the group is to make the village a great place to live. They have a great working partnership with the people who live in the village, both with financial help and helping to looking after the gardens and the village. They also have a good working partnership with the local primary school; some of the group members in normal times go into the school and work with the children, showing and helping them to understand about gardening and the local environment, how to use recycled products where possible, and looking after the wildlife in and around the school and village.
In 2021, Kinnesswood in Bloom were joint winners of the Community Involvement Award: Kinnesswood in Bloom involves all ages in the community, whether it’s youngsters through food growing and teaching lessons virtually during lockdown, creative residents through artwork to celebrate the Year of Coasts and Waters, or history buffs through restoration of the local museum’s garden, there’s something for everyone.
