Bloomin’ lovely
With its roots in the ‘flower power’ era of the 1960s, the RHS’s community gardening initiative, Britain in Bloom, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
The RHS supports community gardening groups throughout the UK. They’re a great way to meet other people, and the resulting plants and flowers give everyone a lift. That spirit is reflected in this year’s Britain in Bloom theme – friendship – and the RHS would love to hear your friendship stories. ✱Find out more at rhs.org.uk/get-involved

On this day in history
21 March 1973: BBC bosses banned all so-called teenybopper acts from appearing on Top of the Pops, including American heart-throb David Cassidy. The decision was made after young fans went wild during the singer’s performance on the show. First finding fame on TV sitcom The Partridge Family, David went on to become a pop idol, with hits including Daydreamer.
