About Oakham in Bloom
Oakham in Bloom is a registered, volunteer led charity which aims to improve the environment for people who visit or live in Oakham, Rutland.
Oakham in Bloom was formed in August 1997 – the committee consists entirely of volunteers and works in partnership with Oakham Town Council, Rutland County Council, schools and youth groups, voluntary organisations, residents and businesses.
The committee and volunteers work hard to make Oakham a more beautiful and welcoming place by planting and caring for locally sourced flowers and shrubs. Our planting choices also support local wildlife by including native and pollinator-friendly species.
We are involved in many projects around the town all year round, from planting baskets, containers and beds to bigger challenges such as the bypass roundabouts.
Our work is funded by our generous sponsors, donations and lottery. Although we work on improving public land we get no monies from either Rutland County Council or Oakham Town Council.
Oakham in Bloom has taken on numerous projects, large and small, since its foundation, from the All Saints Memorial bed, Lands End bed, the roundabouts pretty rose beds on Burley Road to the Rutland County Museum garden and the Prairie Garden at the Library.
