Green fingered tenants rewarded

North Wales Housing’s most green fingered residents can now be revealed as the winners of the first Gardening Competition have been announced.

Tenants across the organisation have been working hard on their entries since it was launched in 2015. The sun shone as NWH judges visited the high number of entries.

Iwan Evans, Tenant Participation Co-ordinator was one of the judges who visited all the entries this August.

“Thank you everyone who entered. We were really happy with the standard of the entries for the competition’s first year; people have worked really hard.”

“Some of the entries were really creative, one of the winning entries even created a scarecrow using a Minion face!”
