A Welsh holiday park is in the pink after scooping a top floral accolade. Judges have described as ‘inspirational’ a North Wales holiday park which landed a gold honour in this year’s keenly contested Wales in Bloom awards. Tree Tops Caravan Park at Gwespyr, near Holywell, seized the top spot for the 26th year running in the caravan park category of the competition. The family-owned North Wales caravan park of luxury caravans and lodges overlooks the Irish Sea and Dee Estuary, out towards the majesty of the Snowdonia park. Offering competitive pitch fees, the park has a children’s play area, outdoor gym and a handy launderette. In family ownership for six decades, Director Andrew Walker, runs Tree Tops alongside his parents Maureen and Harry. “We pride ourselves on our landscaped gardens, and stay with us,” said Andrew. new blooms and extra touches such as an arbour seat. “As we’re open for nine months of the year, we plant for the seasons with an array of spring flowers at the start before moving on to a riot of summer colour which carries on into autumn. “Tree Tops has always prided itself on being an oasis of calm, somewhere to relax and unwind, and the gardens are central to that experience,” added Andrew. Some 16,000 plants a year are used throughout the park grounds, and Tree Tops’ gardening team has its own shrub nursery and grows the blooms on site. The Wales in Bloom judges commended the park’s ‘inspirational’ approach to design and plant selection, and said it had set the standard for other park businesses to emulate.
