Britain in Bloom airs a new episode tonight Friday 3 February 2023 on BBC Two.
“Croston” Chris Bavin travels to Croston, a mediaeval village in Lancashire, to meet a group of Bloomers who, despite the area still feeling the impacts of a tragic flood, are desperate to win gold. They have devised a magnificent plan in the six weeks before the judgement day, but rallying a community that has gone through adversity is a tall order.
This year, they’re focusing on a few major initiatives, including a daring plan to clean up a neglected school garden, a village makeover that will involve the entire community, and a spectacular garden at a local watering hole. There is a lot riding on the Bloomers’ ability to attract tourists, as the local economy is dependent on them.
Airdate: Friday 3 February 2023 at 2.15pm on BBC Two.
