A
Community Project, by the Community, for the Community
2002
WHAT A CHALLENGING AND REWARDING YEAR!
LOOKING BACK
With the enthusiastic participation of all
sections of our community the town looked bloomin great.
Once
again the dedicated team of volunteers excelled in planting, watering and maintaining the
many and varied floral displays throughout the town.
Young people did their bit, planting school playgrounds, participating in
National Tree Week and Big Garden Birdwatch, and litter-picking all round the town. Voluntary organisations busily made their premises
blossom.

Some
of the judges' comments
ANGLIA
Yet again ALL the people of Brightlingsea have excelled. There cannot be many other places where the spirit
of In Bloom is stronger! Private gardens,
businesses, the police station, the schools and youth groups, excellent projects. It
should be remembered that this is not a sleepy backwater, but a busy working town! Long
may it continue to look so wonderful.
BRITAIN
Over recent years, this small town has undergone a remarkable change through the
promotion of community and civic pride, primarily by the whole community's involvement in
all the various aspects of the national 'In Bloom' campaign.
The town was
presented to the judges at its very best with good standards of cleanliness, impressive
quality floral displays and good community, environmental and recycling projects and
initiatives.
