Rothwell in Bloom is a group of local people aiming to encourage others to take pride in the Rothwell area by working to improve public areas, private gardens and business premises. We work closely with Parks & Countryside division of Leeds City Council and with our local ward councillors. Working parties start every Thursday morning at 10.00 until 12 noon, meeting at the Blackburn Hall car park and with a break for tea and biscuits. Some knowledge of garden plants and shrubs would be helpful. Monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Windmill Youth Centre, Marsh Street, Rothwell.  Here we all are at the opening of Margaret's Garden on Sunday 7th September 2008, accompanied by the Mayor of Leeds and councillor Don Wilson, sporting our new blue shirts.
