Congratulations to our Green Fingered Residents
Our 2016 Garden Competition has proved to be quite a year for colourful and inspiring outside spaces.
We received a fantastic number of entrants this year including many new gardens, which was lovely to see. We also had a record amount of nominations made, ranging from neighbours to Golding Homes staff. Alison Breese, Chair of the Golding Vision Board, had the difficult job of judging all of the beautiful gardens.
Alison said “I was extremely impressed by the standard of the gardens; the effort and enthusiasm showed by Golding Homes’ residents is excellent. Well done to you all.”
A big thank you to everyone that entered the competition. You can view pictures of the winners and runner up gardens on our Facebook page.
