About us
In July 2005, inspired by the efforts and
achievements made in the neighbouring village of Scotlandwell,
a few locals decided it was time to do something to enhance the village of
Kinnesswood.
Our first meeting took place a few weeks before the local “Best
Kept Village”
competition and although we knew we had little chance of winning it gave
us the impetus to form “Kinnesswood in Bloom” and begin our campaign in
earnest.
We started slowly using our own resources.
Leafleting the community produced welcome
suggestions, generous donations and offers of help so it wasn’t long
before we had a list of potential “smallish” projects to get our teeth
into.
Over the last few years, we've received
awards from the
Civic Trust,
Take a Pride in Perthshire
and Beautiful Scotland
and Britain in Bloom.
Aside from our time on the outdoor tasks, we meet at least once a
month to make plans, discuss our progress, potential funding etc.
We make every effort to involve the whole community of
Portmoak
and liaise regularly with the local primary school.
Please take a look at some of our
projects or browse the photo gallery.
