Committee Members

The Poole in Bloom committee comprises hands-on volunteers from neighbourhoods across the Borough.  We meet monthly, usually on a Tuesday afternoon at Upton Country Park. 

We are always keen to welcome new members from areas that aren't already represented, or to help out those that are (more).
