Welcome to ‘Kingsbridge in Bloom’
Welcome to Kingsbridge, our market town here inthe South Hams on the South Devon coast. This isour fourth year as an entrant in South West inBloom, and we are looking to build upon last year’ssuccess – when we were awarded a Gold for thefirst time. As before, our efforts are built uponstrong community involvement and a recognition byall of the impact that improvements to the townare making on its vibrancy as a community and commercial centre.
Our theme for 2011: Improvement & Consolidation
Last year we undertook a major funded project, when were-designed and re-planted a sustainable garden in the Town Squareat the centre of town – the centrepiece of our ‘Coast meetsCountryside’ theme for the year. The theme was reflected in ournew logo, introduced in 2010. The project was a major success, and judging by the many comments received, has been highly appreciated by residents and visitors alike.
This year, we decided on a theme of ‘Improvement & Consolidation’, to build upon the developments already begun.
We have continued the Railway Bridge project, which now sports new railway signals, as well as further planting of perennials. Britton’s Field has become a beautiful picnic area, with the addition of several substantial tables and benches, andthe sowing of a wild flower mix across the meadow. Also, the local community effortsto develop the Cattle Market garden at the foot of Church Street have continued, and this project has been entered for a Neighbourhood Award for the first time.
Of course, all of these individual developments are in addition to the many hours spent in weeding and replanting beds and tubs, and in planting up both winter and summer displays in the flower baskets throughout the town.
Improvement & Consolidation’ does not mean standingstill, and earlier this year we completed thedevelopment of the Town Square flower beds, withfunding from the newly opened Tesco store. Furtherinterpretation boards have been installed in keylocations, to the design we introduced for thesustainability garden last year. We have also fostered another local community group to take responsibility for their part of town – leading to the new planters on Fore Street enhancing thenorthern entry into town.

Improvement & consolidation
The Railway Arch: This feature was initially excavated and developed in 2009. Towards the end of 2010, local enthusiasts constructed a set of signals for the bridge, and laid a pair of rails to enhance the link to the Primrose Line. The area has been well maintained, and the bank planted up mainly with primroses and other native perennials. Last year’s annuals in the two wooden planters have been replaced by plants that reflect what the stationmaster might have planted when the primrose line was in operation.
Britton’s Field: The newly laid hedges have recovered from their dramatic pruning, and have been planted with blackthorn, hawthorn
& dog roses and under-planted with bulbs. Wild flowers are being encouraged in the meadow, which now has four locally crafted picnic benches and disability friendly seats. Britton’s Field is featured in thetown’s Tree Trail, and has been enhanced with an interpretation
board giving details of the local landscape and its flora.
The Lime Kiln: The planters in the lime kiln have been replanted with a range of bee friendly plants, including lavender and buddleia, and a bee/insect nesting box has been installed.
The Town Square Sustainable Bed: The principal beds in the Town Square were redeveloped in 2010 prior to last year’s judging. Since then, volunteershave repainted and fittedthe benches and the bedshave been weeded,
watered and maintained –although the requirement for this has been kept low, as a result of originally planting through membrane and covering with a generous mulch of slate and chippings. A few plants were replaced following frost damage – but everyone has been amazed at the length of flowering and the architectural impact of the plants that has continued right through the winter.

Horticultural Achievement
The Town Square sustainable bed has provided exceptional impact to the centre of town. The choice of plants has truely reflected the ‘coast meets countryside’ theme (A1), and the bed has retained floral and architectural interest throughout the year, without additional planting(A2).
Environmental Responsibility
The Town Square sustainable bed has required little weeding and maintenance as a result of its initial design and drought resistant planting (B2)
The development of the Railway Arch, Britton’s Field and the Lime Kiln garden are all examples of highlighting our local heritage (B3)
Community Participation
A team of local ‘handimen’ removed, repainted and refitted the curved benches (C3).

The Town Square beds
The development of the Town Square has continued into 2011 withthe redesign and replanting of all the beds surrounding thesquare. The seaside style of planting is a continuation of theoriginal concept, with the use of drought resistant perennials &grasses – set off against limestone chippings and local river wornboulders.
Members of the public have expressed tremendous support forthe new beds and style of planting, and several have said it hasgiven them ideas for their own sustainable gardens.

Involving the whole community
The Kingsbridge in Bloom project truly involves the whole community. In addition to the ever increasing band of volunteers, and the local community teams that are taking responsibility for their own localities, the project has established working links with a wide range of community groups and local businesses.
Links with Kingsbridge Primary School have helped to foster theirinvolvement in the Pictorial Gardensscheme. This has involved the childrenestablishing a wild flower ‘meadow’,which gives real impact to the entranceto the school site, and has encouragedthe children’s interest in gardening.KIB holds an annual art competition forthe Primary School – this year entitled‘Opening our eyes to the wonder ofnature’.
The Kingsbridge in Bloom project is nowfully integrated into the life of thetown. As such, it has strong links with
the Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, Kingsbridge InformationCentre, schools, businesses – inessence, every facet ofcommunity life. Time was takento introduce the new Tescostore (which opened in Feb) tothe aims of Kingsbridge in Bloom,resulting in them sponsoring thecompletion of the new TownSquare beds. Local businesseson Fore Street and elsewherecontinue to provide sponsorship, and add their own floral displays tothe hanging baskets and tubs provided by KIB.
Over the last year, the Town Counciland a sustainability group calledKingsbridge Agenda 21 have beenworking together to produce a CarbonReduction Action Plan for the town.Kingsbridge in Bloom has been fullysupportive of this project, especiallyas it includes a strong emphasis onwaste reduction and recycling. Oneoutcome has been the launch of a‘Freedom from Plastic’ campaign, whichwill benefit the town in many ways –not least in helping to reduce plasticlitter in town and contamination of the estuary.

The recently produced Carbon Reduction Action Plan, called TASK (Towards a Sustainable Kingsbridge) encourages improvements in recycling practices to the highest standards available. (B2)
The town’s ‘Freedom From Plastic’ campaign aims to eliminate the use of plastic shopping bags, and remove plastic bags from our streets. (B4)
Community Participation
As well as securing some valuable funding from businesses such as Tesco, KIB has received donations from individuals and businesses (including the Regal Club and Crabshell Inn) towards its locality schemes and new interpretation boards (C5)

Kingsbridge in Bloom representatives have also worked closely withthe Town Council and South Hams DC to provide advice and supportto their efforts to improve the Recreation Ground and DuncombePark. Unfortunately progress in the Recreation Ground has beenslow because of the need to overcome flooding problems – forwhich the Town Council has taken advice from soil experts at theEden Project. KIB is supportive of the Town Council’s intention tocreate a long-term solution, rather than adopt a quick fix approach.
Working with the South Hams Ramblers, Britton’s Field picnic areahas been has been reinstated, and a tree trail & quiz has beenestablished around the quayside. Both of these developments havebeen highlighted with specially designed interpretation boards.
Five new interpretation boards have been designed and installedthis year, all of which aim to raise awareness of the historical andenvironmental context of each garden or area featured. Theyhighlight plants of particular interest – and provide information on
the sponsors of eachproject. New bencheshave been installed inthe Town Square aspart of itsre-development, andexisting benchesrepainted.
Kingsbridge CommunityCollege has been working hard to introduce a range of recyclingschemes, and also to involve its students in gardening activities.With guidance from KIB and the Agenda 21 group, the college hasrecently developed 5 new raised vegetable & flower beds, which itintends to share with members of the community - as well as achicken coop and 10 hens. The students sell eggs to the schoolkitchen, and help compost its waste.
One of theorganisationswith whichKingsbridge inBloom has thestrongestassociation isKingsbridge Community Garden. The garden
continues to be the jewel in the town’s horticultural crown, and exemplifies many of the evidence criteria of the ‘in bloom’ scheme. Its layout and planting give a real ‘wow factor’, and with an emphasis on organic principles, water conservation measures and encouraging wildlife it serves as a great example to the community. As before, it is maintained entirely by volunteers, but provides work experience to local schoolchildren and adults with learning difficulties.

Local community schemes
We now have a number of communitygroups within the town who take specificresponsibility for the planting, care andupkeep of their local areas. These includethe neighbours on Duncombe Street whokeep the pergola-covered seating area atthe top of the street well maintained.Likewise, a family maintains and watersthe display of plants in pots in the Lime Kiln garden.
Local clubs and societies are also involved in keeping our town in bloom throughout the year.The Kingsbridge Estuary Boat Club has continued to replant and maintain the dinghy they donated, which is positioned alongside theembankment. Similarly, the WI do the same with the boat that is displayed on the corner at the bottom of Higher Union Road.
Last year we started a scheme whereby we encouraged groups of local residents to make improvements to the garden areas and floral
displays in their localities. The pilotgroup last year developed the ‘CattleMarket’ garden at the lower end ofChurch Street, transforming what was aneglected pocket of land into a beautifulplay and seating area. This group hascontinued to take responsibility formaintaining the garden – which has beenentered into the Neighbourhood Awardscheme this year. The garden now has aninterpretation board, giving details ofthe history of the garden’s location. This year a second group decided thatthe entrance into town from the top ofFore Street lacked floral impact. Permission was granted by Devon
County Council’s Highways Department to place four large wooden planters on the pavement outside the Police Station and on the raised pavement on the descent into town. The planters were made by a local trader, and planted up by Fore Street residents – who have also donated the cost of the plants.

Horticultural Achievement
The quality and appropriateness of the planting in the Church Street garden is indicated by the year-round interest it has given. Grasses and seed heads gave interest through the winter, and the under-planting of bulbs in the autumn gave a lovely show in the spring (A1 & A2)
All the examples on this page are evidence of the ownership being taken by residents for the floral appearance of their localities (A3)
Environmental Responsibility
The new interpretation board, and the maintenance and repainting of the animals in the play area, help to highlight the historical significance of the Cattle Market garden (B3)

Appendix 4 : Town Square Design Plans
a) Sustainability beds (developed during 2009/10)
The development of the Town Square Sustainable Bed was a major project undertaken during 2009/10, and formed a centre-piece for Kingsbridge’s entry in South West in Bloom. The project was funded by South Devon Coastal Local Action Group, Kingsbridge Town Council, Beers Solicitors and from a legacy left to the Kingsbridge Ramblers.
Page 15
b) Town Square beds (developed during 2010/11)
During 2010/11 the re-development of the Town Square has been completed, with funding from Tesco. The design was compatible with the earlier design for the Sustainability Bed, featuring sea-side style planting of perennials and grasses, and features river-worn boulders from the nearby river Erme.
