The gardening talents of the team at Tree Tops Caravan Park in Gwespyr are continuing to blossom this week, after staff won a major accolade at the Wales in Bloom competition.
A small but dedicated group of horticulturalists are responsible for maintaining the site, with more than 15,000 bedding plants planted across the 15-acre park every year, according to the Flintshire Chronicle.
Head gardeners David and Christine Ball lead the team along with Derek Lloyd, Marc Plimley and David Humphreys, while additional support comes from park wardens Terry and Tracey Dykes.
Their efforts were duly recognised at the Wales in Bloom event, with the group picking up an award in the caravans, camping and holiday homes category – continuing their astonishing winning streak of 20 years in a row.
Jim Goodwin, who was one of the judges for the competition, singled out the planting and layout of the new Orchard Meadow lodge develop at Tree Tops for particular praise.
Managing director of the park Maureen Walker told the news provider: “I truly believe that there is no other park quite like Tree Tops, the park was started by my parents and they would be incredibly proud of this achievement.”
The award was a notable bright spot in an otherwise dreary summer for the campsite, with the worst June to August weather in 100 years spoiling much of the season.
