Working with different groups in the community and the Town Council, East Grinstead in Bloom is targeting a range of items that improve our environment and incidentally, towns people’s day to day lives.

Under this heading comes litter, dog-fouling, graffiti, vandalism, kerbside weeds, quality of signs, litterbins and street furniture. Rather than concentrating on the negatives we will be working on long term community-based handlings.

Under this heading come all those factors that really represent taking care of that part of the planet occupied by our town.

• Establishing and maintaining nature conservation and wildlife areas
• Cleaning up any polluted sites
• Operating active policies to reduce demand on naturally occurring resources
• Encouraging rainwater harvesting
• Preserving natural habitats
• Education and orientation on what has been achieved in the town and what can be

To commemorate the late Queen’s Jubilee, East Grinstead in Bloom provided every primary school and community garden in the area with a fruit tree.

North Down Terrace is designated as our orchard, which now has 11 fruit trees.

Our mission is to increase the tree stock in and around East Grinstead area, whilst working with Mid Sussex District Council and East Grinstead Town Council to achieve this.
