| A pre 2003 history... | |||
|
During the 1980s, North East Fife Recreation Department was successful in competing in a number of high profile flower shows. Most notably Ayr and The Royal Highland Show. This success was an excellent advert for the area, which relies heavily on tourism. At this time, however, there was a strong view that any visitors to the area did not witness the experience of the Recreation Department as there was little in the way of bedding displays on view. The response of the Recreation Department to this criticism was to encourage the communities to take the first steps to improve their local environment, and they would then receive support from the district council. |

In 1987, following a public
meeting in the village, the Falkland In Bloom Society was formed with a
remit of improving the environment of Falkland, mainly through the use of
flowers. |
