Stony Stratford in Bloom (SSIB) is a group of volunteers who are passionate about making Stony Stratford even more beautiful. Read How it All Began.
The Community Project for Everyone
What is most important to the project is bringing in the whole community and each year there has been a warm response from the people of Stony Stratford; see Community Involvement.
Working parties
Working parties usually take place on Saturdays from 10 am to 12 noon and on Wedesdays at 2 pm. (If you can’t stay for the full 2 hours you are welcome to spend as much time as you can.) A list of planned working parties will be found on the Working Parties page.
Generous support
As the winter plants give way to summer blooms (we did the changeover on 3 June; click here to read about it) – so the new sponsoring year begins; and Stony Stratford in Bloom would like to take this opportunity to thank all the businesses, groups and individuals who sponsored us in the last gardening year. Obviously our largest source of funding comes from the Town Council, which has been a generous supporter of Stony Stratford in Bloom from the outset. Stony Stratford Business Association, through its willingness to buy new, more sustainable hanging baskets for the High Street, has also provided substantial financial support for the Stony Stratford in Bloom project. Stony Stratford in Bloom and the Futures Group have, as always, worked closely together to beautify the town.
