In Bloom - The Cart at the Castle

The first, fourth and fifth Cub Scouts of Carrickfergus have been digging in and getting involved in the Mid and East Antrim ‘In Bloom’ campaign. The Cubs and Leaders helped Parks & Open Spaces staff plant up local favourite, the ‘cart at the castle’, with beautiful bedding to make the town bloom this Saturday 25^th June 2016

Everyone who lives in the Borough can help make our Borough bloom too, and think about their local environment and how flowers, plants and gardens can enhance it for people and wildlife.

By actively supporting our ‘In Bloom’ campaign and competitions residents will not only make their garden, school or business more attractive but also assist Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s entry to the Translink Ulster in Bloom Competition and the Britain in Bloom Competition. Residents can get involved in the ‘In Bloom’ campaign by entering our community competitions, there are great prizes to be won and winners and runners up will be invited to an awards ceremony in October.
