The Melksham Bloomers have been entering the annual flower competition for five years, but they've never won gold. They are upping the ante but major roadworks in the town square threaten to scupper their chances. Chris Bavin heads to this Wiltshire market town to help them with their grand plan. First up, the high street needs to be breathtaking so the Bloomers have come up with a brand new idea to fill the area with colour. Then their heritage quarter needs to look its absolute floral best, and the library beds need a complete revamp. With judging day just six weeks away, there's a huge amount to do, so Melksham have to call upon the services of their secret weapon - their perfectionist gardener who makes sure everyting is to gold-winning standard.

Chris Bavin heads to the historic market town of Oakham in Rutland where the Bloomers are having to cope with major roadworks around the town. They can't avoid them, so the team has decided to embrace the construction with a roadworks-themed Bloom entry. They aim to fill their windows with planted-up traffic cones and hard hats. At the showcase library gardens, they hope to fill the beds with traffic light-coloured blooms. Finally, they're engaging the wider community to produce bespoke planters to green up the centre. But this community knows all too well that things can go wrong at any time - last year they were hit with a scandal involving slugs that threatened to scupper the whole competition.
