Green Fingers Make A Difference

 

A group of gardeners have dug to victory, winning an Ian Williams sponsored award.

Residents from Western Court won the Eco Champion category of Wales and West Housing Association’s annual Making a Difference Award.

As part of our ten-year cyclical decoration partnership with the housing association, Ian Williams sponsored the event and attended to handover the award to the deserving Bridgend residents.

Work completed as part of the winning entry included the installation of raised beds, the creation of a compost area, the installation of bird feeders and house and new fruit and vegetable plots.

Jean Gorton, who nominated her fellow residents, said: “Western Court was always a nice place to live, but now it has been transformed into a fabulous community where residents socialise often, celebrate birthdays and hold barbecues in the fabulous courtyard garden.”
