THE Wrexham AFC floral crest landmark has been visited by club CEO as the city continues to bloom and grow.

Back in July, in celebration of recent club successes and the positivity Wrexham AFC has brought to the city, a floral Wrexham AFC crest was planted on St Giles Way. The crest was also part of the Wales in Bloom competition entry.

Since then the floral crest has become a colourful new landmark and a must visit spot for locals and tourists alike.

It has seen countless visits from local pollinators, as well as selfie hunters and very recently it had a visit from a special guest from the club.

On visiting the display Wrexham AFC CEO Michael Williamson said: “Congratulations, llongyfarchiadau, to all involved. The floral club crest looks great, and we’re proud to be associated with this wonderful greenspace project.

“We’re looking forward to continuing to work with the Wrexham 2029 City of Culture bid and the Wrexham Council to help the community of Wrexham grow.”
