Chris Bavin helps a community entering Britain in Bloom for the first time.

Chris Bavin heads to Breaston in Derbyshire to meet a new group of Bloomers with little gardening experience who are entering the competition for the first time.

Chris Bavin meets the community of Breaston in Derbyshire which is entering Britain in Bloom for the first time. With little gardening experience between them, the Breaston Bloomers are ambitiously planning to fill the whole village with flowers. They feel it's important to keep the community spirit alive and want to involve as many residents as possible. They have decided on three main projects to try to win gold. Their centenary garden needs to impress the judges, so the Bloomers create a centrepiece Bug Hotel. Next, they plan to create a welcoming entrance to the village, and lastly they want to plant over 1,000 flowers in the centre of the village. They've only got six weeks until judging day.
