The winners and runners-up in the Mid and East Antrim in Bloom Community Competitions were celebrated at an awards ceremony in Raceview Mill, Broughshane, on Thursday 19 October.
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Councillor Paul Reid, Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, said: “Our Mid and East Antrim ‘In Bloom’ Community Competitions are an important part of our Britain in Bloom and Ulster in Bloom entries.
“Mid and East Antrim in Bloom is a beacon of community gardening good practice, it encourages people to get involved, builds community spirit and improves the environment we all live in. With initiatives across the Borough such as Tree Week and our ‘Friends of’ volunteer groups, opportunities are also created for health, wellbeing and learning.
“The ‘in Bloom’ competitions are a great way to celebrate the hard work put in by local people throughout the year to make our Borough a more beautiful and biodiverse place to live.
“I am pleased to say the Mid and East Antrim in Bloom Community Competitions have really caught the imagination of our citizens and we have once again had a fantastic response to the awards from all across the Borough.
“I was very impressed by the number of high-quality entries. The time and dedication of entrants is extraordinary and a credit to all involved. Everyone who took part should be very proud of their achievements. I would like to thank everyone, our residents, local businesses, schools and community groups who continue to support our ‘in Bloom’ campaign.”
