Over the summer we held our annual gardening competition and we’re now pleased to announce the winners! The competition, sponsored by idverde landscaping and grounds maintenance company, comprised of four categories and was judged by a team of idverde designers and managers.
Laura Henderson from idverde commented:
Another fantastic year of entries in each category from Apex residents. Clearly a lot of time, hard work and passion for gardening have went into each garden. It was difficult in the categories to choose a winner; however, those who were successful and stood out most were the entries that included plenty of colour and textures, were neat and tidy with that extra care and attention to detail. Thanks to all entrants and well done to the winners and runners up in each category!
