Chris Bavin is in Evington to learn how the Bloom team aims to win their very first gold.

Chris Bavin meets the Bloomers of Evington in Leicester, who are determined to win their first gold by impressing the judges with their cutting-edge growing techniques.

Chris Bavin travels to Evington to meet the Leicestershire Bloomers who are determined to use gardening to combat social isolation and win their first gold award.

Firstly, a group of elderly volunteers who look after Burnaby Gardens revive an overgrown area of this historic park with a brand new planting scheme. Next, the Gardening Club transforms an abandoned strip of land at the local primary school into a bee-friendly wildlife area. Finally, the volunteers undertake an ambitious food growing project – by turning an empty polytunnel into an innovative aquaponic farm, using fish to fertilise plants that aren’t grown in soil. The scale of all their ambition means the Bloomers have a huge amount to do before the judges come in eight weeks’ time.
