The CiB Judges are in Trim, Meath County Ireland not the judiciary but the town is participating in the 30th Edition of Communities in Bloom
in the International Challenge Medium category, along with countries from Canada and Hungary
The Communities in Bloom judges, Susan Ellis from Pembroke, Ontario Canada and Bob Ivison from Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire United Kingdom, will be evaluating Trim on today July 11 and for the next two days.
The community will be rated from 1 to 5 Blooms, based on the scoring obtained. Those participating will aim to obtain Bronze, Silver or Gold levels in their 5-Bloom rating.
The National and International results will be announced in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Canada from October 17th to 20th 2024, during the National Symposium on Parks & Grounds and the National & International Awards.
Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit volunteer and partnership-driven organization that uses a multi-tiered competitive evaluation process to foster community strength, involvement, and continuous improvement. This is accomplished by nurturing environmental sustainability, enhancements of green spaces, and heritage conservation in cultural and natural environments encompassing municipal, residential, commercial, and institutional spaces.
Our vision is to inspire all communities to enhance the quality of life and our environment through people and plants to create community pride. “Growing Great Places Together” is our slogan, and it captures the essence of the program.
Trim also has the distinction of having won the National Title of Tidy Town for four years in 1972, 1974, 1984 and more recently in 2022. The people and businesses
of the town have a well respected reputation in keeping the town looking the way it does coupled with a great community spirit.
Hopefully, come mid October the town will have another accolade to add to its name.
