Bloom! York

Saturday 22 - Sunday 23 June 2019

Following on from the popular Bloom! festival in 2018, we're keeping the flower blooming with the Bloom! Flower and Produce Show.

The first Bloom! festival in 2018 was to created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Ancient Society of York Florists, the oldest florists’ society still in existence in the world.

The Ancient Society of York Florists is the oldest existing horticultural society, predating any other, with records dating back to 1768, when the society was founded. It is the only society retaining the word 'florists' in its title, which refers back to the time when only florists' flowers were accepted as exhibits - a florist being a person who grew flowers for their beauty and not a seller of cut flowers as it is today.
