IT was a case of sweet sixteen for a family-run caravan park after it scooped a prestigious Wales in Bloom 2008 title
For the sixteenth year running Tree Tops Caravan Park in Gwespyr has won a prize, being described by judges as "exemplary".
The achievement is due to a tremendous amount of planning and hard work by Tree Tops' head gardeners David and Christine Ball, who produce over 15,000 plants on the park from seeds, plugs and cuttings, and add them to the established landscaped gardens, creating a dazzling array of colours in the floral displays throughout the park's 15 acres.
This year the organisers of the competition sent their most senior judge.
Andrew Walker, Tree Tops General Manager said: "We are delighted to have won this competition again. We would like to thank our staff and customers for all of their help and hard work.
"The commitment required from our gardening team is immense, but their efforts have truly paid off. Having the Wales In Bloom senior judge assessing the park this year was nerve-racking to say the least, but our small team have worked exceptionally hard this year to make sure the park was looking its best.
"Tree Tops covers 15 acres and our gardeners manage to produce all of the blooms in a few small greenhouse on the park and at the head gardeners home, even I'm amazed at the number of flowers they turn out.
"It's another great success for our family business and it's thanks to our head gardeners David and Christine Ball, Mandy and Neil Cotterill our wardens and Andy Luke our groundsman."
This is one of many awards Tree Tops has won, including the David Bellamy Gold Award and the Green Apple award which both recognise the parks commitment to the environment, native species and their habitat.
Mr Walker added: "We also won "Best Tourism Business In Flintshire" for 2007/08, this was awarded to us by Flintshire Count Council in recognition of our contribution to the local economy and community."
