About Us

Woodchurch in Bloom (Winbloom) is a group of volunteers providing horticulture and wellbeing to wider community within Woodchurch, Kent.

In 2017 a group of volunteers entered Woodchurch into the Royal Horticultural Society competition: South & South East in Bloom. The name Winbloom emanates from this entry. In 2018 Winbloom won a Silver in the category Large Village and in 2019 went on to win GOLD in the same category.

Following this success, it was decided that the focus for Winbloom would become driven by the needs of the village rather than the requirements of a competition and that the name would revert to Woodchurch in Bloom (Winbloom). In 2020 Woodchurch Gardening Society merged with Woodchurch in Bloom.
