Chris Bavin meets the volunteers from Richmond in the Yorkshire Dales, who are determined to keep their town on the tourist trail by entering Bloom for the very first time.

Chris Bavin travels to Richmond in the Yorkshire Dales to meet the volunteers who are determined to keep their town on the tourist map by entering Bloom for the very first time. They hope to encourage visitors so they have come up with an ambitious plan to showcase three heritage sites and impress the judges. Firstly, they transform the neglected site of an old gas holder into a peaceful riverside garden. Next, they create a community orchard on an overgrown slope. Finally, they work with volunteers from ‘Just the Job’, a centre for adults with disabilities, who help fill the town with flowers and transforming their own patch of land into a flourishing allotment. This would be a huge task for the most experienced of Bloomers and they only have six weeks until judging day.
