Usk is a small market town of 2300 people in South East Wales.  Its history goes back to the Romans and Normans.

It qualifies for entry as a large village in the Britain in Bloom and the Wales in Bloom competitions. 

The Usk in Bloom committee was formed in 1980 by a group of enthusiasts who wished to improve the environment of their town. Since then the town has won many awards and attracted visitors to its wonderful display of flowers.

See our Usk in Bloom News page for details this year's plans and past awards.
