Garden with mural painted by Elland community awarded Gold at Harrogate Flower Show
A garden that included a mural painted by members of the community in Elland was awarded Gold at a recent flower show.
Members of the Elland Project Colt community and participants of their Employability Programme, alongside dedicated volunteers have collaborated with resident artist Serena Rogers to create a stunning mural for Harrogate Flower Show.
The mural was a focal point in a show garden designed by Huddersfield based J. Paxman Landscapes.
The garden was awarded a Gold award at the event.
Serena said: “So so pleased for the community members that worked on this, a volunteer, attendees of Project Colts employability programme, those that participate in art workshops.
"It’s an absolutely brilliant accomplishment for them after giving time especially over the Easter holidays to finish this.”
Harrogate Flower Shows attract a combined audience of up to 70,000 visitors each year from the Spring and Autumn show, showcasing plant nursery displays and floral features.
