Glenarm is one of only two UK villages hoping to achieve recognition in a major international floral display competition.

The Communities in Bloom (CIB) judges jetted in from Canada to see at first hand the work undertaken by the group of dedicated volunteer horticulturists in the village.

The judges toured Glenarmon Friday, before moving on to Ahogill on Saturday and then flying out to the Czech Republic on Sunday for their next session of floral assessment.
