Winner of Chester Children's Flower Competition
Talented young gardeners have been rewarded at an inaugural children’s flower growing competition in Chester.
Phoenix Parry-Barnes, aged eight, of Dorchester Road, Lache won the first Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT) flower growing competition at a ceremony held at The Parade, Blacon.
The 11 Finalists, aged three to 10, applied to receive a pot and some petunia seeds at the beginning of June and over the last month they have been nurturing their plants.
The judge was Ron Moore, of Barrow, a CDHT Resident Grounds Maintenance Inspector.
Sara Morley, CDHT Neighbourhood Enterprise Coordinator, said: “All of the Finalists are winners; the standard was very high and the children did brilliantly. This competition is a great way of getting children involved in gardening; we aim to make this an annual competition.”
Phoenix won a £50 high street voucher and the other Finalists won £20 vouchers.
