Blairgowrie & Rattray in Bloom has a dedicated committee of 7, helped by a variety of groups and 19 volunteers, who put in many hours during the year to ensure that the town looks as good as it possibly can. We are very lucky that we have a green area in the town centre called ‘The Wellmeadow’ and the beautiful River Ericht flowing through the town.
Whilst the local council are responsible for some areas, Blair in Bloom provide and maintain the hanging baskets and flower tubs throughout Blairgowrie and Rattray. These are paid for by local businesses, fund raising and donations.
