Keeping Heywood in Bloom

Heywood in Bloom brings people together to make our town greener, brighter and better. We are a community-led group working with volunteers, residents, community organisations, businesses, schools, churches, Rochdale Council and others across Heywood. From colourful planting and our Community Allotment to community gardens, environmental projects and North West in Bloom, we help turn people's time, skills and ideas into improvements that everyone can enjoy.

There are lots of ways to be part of it.

​Get involved

However much or little time you have, and whatever your skills or experience, there are different ways to get involved with Heywood in Bloom. The three ways in which people engage with us the most are through our volunteer programme, or by becoming a partner organisation through our Grow With Us project or though our Seed a new Project initiative. For more details of each, please click on the corresponding button below. 

​

Our Community Allotment brings people together to grow plants and produce, learn new skills, support community partners and raise funds for our work.
