The Isle of Man Flower Festival gets underway today (THURS) and 21 venues across the Island are displaying their arrangements for a week.
This year’s theme is Island of Culture, and organisers are hoping the festival will be even bigger than its re-launch last year.
As well as 19 churches, the Old Grammar School in Castletown and the Grove Museum in Ramsey are participating.
There’s also a framed set of winter flora stamps up for grabs in a photographic competition.
A 32-page brochure, with a map of locations, is available at all venues, and more details can be found at flowerfest.im.
