About Us
Floral Guernsey was formed many years ago as an extension of the States Tourism Board to promote floral events throughout the Bailiwick of Guernsey. With the reduction of State funding during 2006, and a change in focus by Culture and Leisure, the Floral Guernsey council found itself in the position of having to restructure itself as an independent organisation run almost entirely by volunteers and funded by a combination of States Grants, through Culture and Leisure and private sponsorship.

Sponsors
Our current sponsors are Skipton International Limited (Festival Weeks, & community competition) HSBC Bank PLC (Legacy Projects,) and the Bedell Group (Children’s growing initiative.)

What we do 
Lady Malbon is our patron. During 2007 the organisation was restructured and enlarged, to include an enthusiastic team of Council members, each having their own specialism and giving their time freely for the benefit of the community.


The scope of projects has been widened and with the generosity and support of our sponsors makes a real impact on the environment or the Bailiwick for the benefit of both residents and visitors alike. The involvement of all parts of the community is an essential aim and, in fact, many hundreds of people are involved in the various areas of activity carried out the Horticultural Society events.
