The Rugby in Bloom campaign is run by Rugby
Borough Council
Rugby in Bloom 2018 was
organised by Rugby Borough Council, with support from a host of community
organisations, volunteers, businesses and schools.
THE centenary
of the end of the First World War has inspired this year’s theme for
Rugby in Bloom. The Great War ended on November 11, 1918 and the
council’s annual gardening contest commemorates the centenary by
encouraging residents, schools and businesses to mark the milestone
with a floral tribute.
