Pride in Your Community Assessments 2026
Pride in Your Community is Cumbria in Bloom’s main assessment and links to the national RHS Britain in Bloom competition, the UK’s largest community gardening campaign. It is an annual assessment organised by the Cumbria in Bloom voluntary regional committee and has been running for almost 30 years.
The aim of Pride in Your Community is to encourage the improvement of our surroundings through the imaginative use of trees, shrubs, flowers and landscaping.
