WHY Best Kept?

Best Kept was pioneered in the early ‘50s by Professor Arthur Muskett. Northern Ireland led the field in this type of community-based competition which is now conducted in the rest of Britain, Republic of Ireland and throughout Europe under the titles of ‘Britain in Bloom’, ‘Tidy Towns’ and ‘Entente Florale’ respectively.

How can you get involved?

•	By keeping towns, villages, schools, healthcare facilities and places of work litter free, clean and colourful.
•	Make use of recycling facilities in your area.
•	Form a Village Improvement Committee.
•	Plant trees and shrubs and keep weeds at bay.

These are just some of the ways you can get involved.
