Bloom in Kingseat

A handful of volunteers, a lot of begonias, and one whisky-barrel train. We keep our village in flower all year round.

Who we are

A village group with green fingers

Bloom in Kingseat is a volunteer-run community group, founded in 2005, that looks after the village's flower beds, tubs, hanging baskets and planted displays.

We plant, weed, water and sweep; we raise the money to pay for it at our coffee mornings and through tub sponsorship; and we try to get as many neighbours involved as we can. Along the way the village has picked up a Beautiful Fife Silver Gilt award in 2009, and later the Gold Award and Best Small Village signs that stand in the village centre.

  • Run entirely by volunteers
