December 2025:

In 2026 Portishead in Bloom will have the honour of taking part in the National Finals of Britain in Bloom as well as competing in South West in Bloom - but it has to be admitted that the regular volunteer gardeners aren’t getting any younger and PiB really needs more volunteers to maintain the number of sites they look after. You don’t need to come every week, or to be skilled gardeners – if you would enjoy being outdoors, learning new skills and helping keep Portishead beautiful, please come and join in with some of our work parties. We are a cheerful and welcoming bunch of people!
