A Teesdale village is hoping to go one better in a regional competition this year.
Middleton-in-Teesdale came second in the Northumbria in Bloom competition in 2008 and villagers are being encouraged to get their gardens in prime condition in readiness for this years judging.
The best local garden will win 25 worth of garden centre vouchers.
The closing date for applications is 26 June, for more details call Susan Semple on 01833-641000.
