THE WINNER of Mold's August floral competition has been announced.

Mold Town Council’s annual ‘Blooming Mold’ began at the start of July - with winners selected for July, August and September, and then an overall winner at the end.

The August competition attracted 19 floral entries with delightful photos of wonderful mature gardens, colourful baskets, bee friendly areas and more.

The Blooming Mold judges, mayor of Mold, Councillor Sarah Taylor, deputy mayor, Councillor Haydn Jones and Mold Gardening Club representative, Graham Wright, awarded Helen Harris’s entry of her beautiful back garden.

Helen over a period of 5 years has created a perennial garden focusing on achieving a colourful and interesting display which comes to life from March until late autumn.

She has also incorporated a herb garden which has a wide variety of plants and grown many annuals which give a splash of colour to the garden.

Helen wins £25 worth of Totally Mold vouchers which will be released in October once the competition closes.

September’s Blooming Mold competition is now open to all Mold residents, businesses, organisations and groups.

To enter this year’s Blooming Mold competition organisers are asking you to submit a photograph for judging.

The photograph subject can be anything floral / garden related which has been taken in your garden, backyard or place of work (within Mold).

Whether it be a shrub or floral planter, herb garden, building an insect house, perfecting a wildflower area or maintaining your veg plot, the judges look forward to viewing them (online) and all entries will be shown on the Mold Town Council Facebook page.
