The Addingham Garden Friends is a group of volunteers helping to enhance and maintain the village open spaces and public gardens, in conjunction with Bradford M.D.Council and Addingham Parish Council. The group has planning meetings on the first Wednesday of the month in the Cricket Clubhouse, Main Street, Addingham, at 10.00am and working parties on the second Wednesday of the month at 9.30am. and at other times as required. New members are always welcome - if you would be willing to spend a little time helping beautify Addingham, please contact us. In
past years we have entered the village in the Yorkshire
in Bloom
competition
with great success - after a string of Silver Gilt (second grade)
awards the village was awarded a top
GOLD award,
and placed first in category, in 2011 (see list of awards HERE).
Addingham was invited to represent
Yorkshire in
the national Britain
in Bloom 2012
competition
against the 'best of the best' similar sized villages from the
other regions of the UK (from the Channel Isles to Scotland and
Northern Ireland) and we were delighted to be awarded a Silver
Gilt award in this prestigious competition. See the Britain in
Bloom Judges full report HERE. We have decided not enter Yorkshire in Bloom again for now, but to concentrate on maintaining and improving the village gardens. We are progressively re-planting with perennials and shrubs to replace many of the seasonal bedding areas - this permanent planting will be labour and cost saving. The next area to be changed is in the Hen Pen.
