Grimsby in Bloom have been running since 2006 and have in this time achieve gold standard on numerous occasions. We do this by actively involving the community in what we do.
We took over the old bowling green pavilion in the Duke of York gardens six years ago and in this time we have secured funding to run a small café for the benefit of the park users and local residents. We built a workshop which is fully equipped with various hand tools (funded by Wilmott Dixon) for 6 young people to use to learn basic wood working skills.
More recently we secured more funding to build a wooden ‘Garden Room’ which will allow us to offer more space to local groups to use. All this does not deter from our main aims of caring for the environment and improving the vista of Grimsby.
This is done by regular river cleans/litter picks, planting up barrier baskets and planters and encouraging the community to take of their little bit of the town.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with running the café and the gardening side of our activities.
