The theme for this year's Belgravia in Bloom is ‘Into the Wild,’ celebrating the beauty of nature and all its creatures. The partnership with the London Wildlife Trust ensures that biodiversity-boosting flowers are used in the creation. Visitors can engage with the theme by participating in activities such as making "seed bombs" for their gardens at the hedgehog van hosted by the London Wildlife Trust. The collaboration between Belgravia in Bloom and the Trust emphasises the need to protect and appreciate the natural world. By incorporating magnificent floral installations and diverse animal representations, this year's wilderness-themed event invites visitors to celebrate and support the wonders of nature.
