Britain in Bloom “Tewkesbury” (BBC Two Monday 13 February 2023)
Britain in Bloom airs a new episode tonight Monday 13 February 2023 on BBC Two.
“Tewkesbury” Chris Bavin meets the remarkable Bloomers, a group that must start over every year when their horticultural efforts are washed away by flood waters. Tewkesbury, a town in Gloucestershire, sits at the confluence of four rivers, making it a beautiful location but also causing annual flooding that causes significant damage. The Tewkesbury Bloomers have come up with a post-flood town this year that is particularly ambitious in three respects: The riverside public park, Victoria Gardens, will soon be transformed into a blooming paradise. Then the city’s central plaza will be overrun with bright Blooms and flags, and a wildlife reserve that is frequently submerged will be tamed. If the town doesn’t flood again before judgement day, the volunteers will win gold.
Airdate: Monday 13 February 2023 at 2.15pm on BBC Two.
