In 2003 Penwith District Council achieved a magnificent seven awards for Britain in Bloom in neighbouring towns and villages and St. Just was conspicuous in its absence. A St. Just in Bloom Committee was formed to push forward St. Just’s first ever foray into the competition and was busy making plans to put England’s most westerly town on the floral map.
The first meeting was held at St. Just Comprehensive School on 18th November 2003. St. Just’s Primary and Secondary Schools joined the scheme and play a key role in the town’s involvement in the Britain in Bloom competition as they grow and propagate plants and flowers.
