| The group was set up in March 2002 initially to remove some of the environmental / gardening responsibilities from the parish council and transfer them to local volunteers with a keen interest. |
| |
The response was good and the membership currently stands at sixteen. The group also have other volunteers who help with particular projects. A formal meeting is held monthly and members meet in the parish on a regular basis at other times to carry out the work of planting and maintenance. |
| |
| Funds need to be raised, by the group, from a number of sources and the annual budget is in excess of £5000.00. |
| |
Responsibility for the parish entry into the Britain and Yorkshire In Bloom competitions is handled by the group as is the Best Kept Garden Competition; both previously parish council functions. Cayton residents are enthusiastic about the competitions and the group see them as a benchmark for the progress being made. |
| |
The Best Kept Garden Competition is judged in July in two stages, first round judging of all the gardens in the parish is by group members and a short list is prepared with final judging by two independant judges from outside the parish. Trophies are awarded for the best large, medium/small and container gardens also around seventy gold, silver or bronze certificates are presented to runners up. A vegetable plot competition is new for 2010. |
| |
Local businesses are keen supporters of "in bloom" initiatives and provide sponsorship, ensure attractive frontages and where appropriate provide facilities for events. |
