Chris Bavin meets the Lichfield Bloomers, who want to show off the heritage in their city.

Chris Bavin meets the ambitious Bloomers of Lichfield in Staffordshire, who are looking for their second gold award by presenting the judges with ambitious heritage projects.

Chris Bavin travels to the historic city of Lichfield in Staffordshire to meet a determined group of Bloomers looking to show off their glorious heritage and continue the success of last year with another gold award. Firstly, a local Georgian mansion will be transformed, with a stunning walled kitchen garden and a restored Victorian greenhouse. Next, on the site of a filled-in canal, the team is undertaking one of the biggest ever Bloom projects in digging out a stretch of the former canal and re-creating the wharf. It will take a huge effort and it is all to be done in three months by only a small group of volunteers. Finally, an unloved area of scrubland is turned into community gardens, with small allotment plots for the locals and community beds to grow fruit and flowers. But the site is covered in mare’s tail, an invasive weed that is hard to control – so the Bloomers will have to find a creative use for the weed to impress the judges.
