The 2017 campaign and community competitions were officially launched to coincide with Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) National Gardening Week.
The launch took place The People’s Park, Ballymena, on Friday 7 April and guests were invited to take part in a range of ‘in bloom’ activities.
Speaking at the event, Cllr Wales said: “Mid and East Antrim in Bloom is your opportunity to make your Borough bloom once again! Everyone can do their bit by filling a hanging basket, planting a tree or just keeping your garden tidy - there is something for everyone to do to ensure our Borough looks its best."
The Mid and East Antrim in Bloom community competitions are a great chance for people to be recognised for their gardening skills. Applications are welcome from all residents of the Borough and entry is free of charge. Why not consider nominating a neighbour’s garden and other properties that you think are attractive and deserve recognition?
There are 10 community competitions with great prizes available for winners and runners up in each. General categories include Best Kept Front Garden, Best Kept Allotment Garden, Best Kept Commercial Premises, Best Kept Community Planting Scheme and the Gardening for Wildlife Award.
There are four competitions specifically for our young horticulturalists too; Painting Competition, Poetry Competition, Best School Gardening Project and, of course, the hotly contested Tallest Sunflower Competition.
