For the Sixteenth year running Tree Tops Caravan Park in Gwespyr has won the prestigious Wales in Bloom competition. This is a massive achievement for this family run, 5 star Park.
A tremendous amount of planning and hard work by the head gardeners David and Christine Ball has gone into ensuring this fantastic win. We produce over 15,000 plants here on the Park from seeds, plugs and cuttings, these are added to the established landscaped gardens. The dazzling colours in the floral displays throughout the parks 15 acres are truly amazing and worth viewing. This truly is gardening on a grand scale!!
This year the organisers of the competition sent their most senior judge, Mr Knight. In his report he said “Despite other sites raising their standards, Tree Tops continues to provide the very highest standards and is awarded 1st place this year”.
Andrew Walker, General Manager commented “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 immense, but their efforts have truly paid off. Having the Wales In Bloom Senior Judge assessing the park this year was nerve wracking 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 flower 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 Grounds man.”
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. 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.
