\"\"<\/a>CDCED 2024 COMMUNITY GARDENS & BEAUTIFICATION FESTIVAL AWARD CEREMONY by Carol-Faye Bynoe-George<\/p>\n

An enchanting evening in one of the best ambiences a venue could give, scrumptious dining, melodious music\/entertainment and a great audience are some of the descriptions for the evening of Thursday 12th<\/sup> December 2024.\u00a0 What better way to bring closure and the perfect end to the 2024 Community Gardens and Beautification Festival<\/strong>? Despite some hurdles this year\u2019s festival under the leadership and guidance of Miss Dale O\u2019Brien\/CDCED Director and Miss Tanya Williams\/Co-ordinator was indeed a resounding success.<\/p>\n

The Community Development and Citizens Engagement Division (CDCED) within the Ministry of Health, Social Transformation and the Department of Environment held its 2024 Award Ceremony at the Casa Palmadita located in Fitches Creek.\u00a0 The 2024 theme \u201cThink Beautification for the Nation\u2019s Health and Wealth<\/strong>\u201d was a very appropriate, especially since our focus is on \u201cFood Sovereignty and Security\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s competition officially launched in January has been in existence for many years however, the 2024 festival was the largest in recent times attracting approximately one hundred participants in several categories ranging from Residential, Business to Community. The Community category was newly added and was implemented to serve several reasons that would holistically demonstrate civic pride, teamwork and vision these spaces would be good examples to others to follow in taking better care of the environment and some if its biodiversity.<\/p>\n

The variety of gardens that were judged twice during the year were Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables, Water, Stones, Herbs and Spices in five zones to include Barbuda.<\/p>\n
