Welcome to Ilfracome In Bloom
A group of local residents who aim to improve Ilfracombe, North Devon by making a greener, cleaner and more beautiful place to live, work and visit, planting troughs and sustainable planting displays through the town and caring for pocket garden areas.
Working alongside other groups, organisations, businesses and without forgetting our wonderful community who support us, either through financial or practical help we thank you… hands are always welcomed, come say hello!
The main impact is during the summer months with hanging baskets and stanchions but our aim is to extend the season by continuing to plant shrubs and bulbs in pocket gardens, giving more winter colour. We also have boats sited around the town, but the one near the harbour is planted with thriving perennials.
