Welcome to the website of Starbeck in Bloom, National Winner for Urban Category in Britain in Bloom 2006, National Silver Gilt Winner for 2008.

Starbeck in Bloom was formed thirteen years ago after a depressing spate of vandalism in the High Street. Morale was at an all-time low and a small group of people and businesses decided to brighten the shops by putting some flowering tubs on the street and organising a garden competition.

From that small act we grew and grew, eventually we entered Yorkshire in Bloom in the Urban Category in 1998. Our success was amazing, we took joint first in 2000, overall first in 2001 and 2002, Summer Winner in 2003 our first Spring win in 2005 and also Summer overall and most improved for that year, then Gold in 2007 and again in 2009.

Our committee is very small but we call on help from all sectors of the community and never get a refusal! Brownies, Guides, Brigades, Scouts, WI Church groups and schools all play their part. Donations of money came from local people, businesses and the community fund and we receive unstinting help from Harrogate Borough Council.

Please take the time to fill out our online Questionnaire.
