Tai Calon is thrilled to congratulate the tenants of Llys-Y-Capel on their recent victory in the Community Group Garden category of the Nantyglo and Blaina in Bloom 2024 competition.

This wonderful achievement was celebrated on the 19th of September when a group of tenants from Llys-Y-Capel attended the prestigious awards ceremony, held in the Council Chambers at the Blaina Institute.

The award, presented by Mayor Michael Williams, recognized the Llys-Y-Capel garden as a standout example of a thriving community space. The judge from Keep Wales Tidy praised the garden’s wildlife-friendly design, noting how the tenants had created an inviting outdoor area with a diverse range of plants. The communal garden offers a tranquil space for tenants to enjoy year-round, walking through vibrant greenery that has been carefully tended and nurtured by the group.

“It was a pleasure to celebrate such a wonderful achievement,” shared the judge, adding that the Llys-Y-Capel group had done an excellent job of maintaining the grounds, ensuring the area continues to be a place of beauty and relaxation for all.

At Tai Calon, we are incredibly proud of the partnership between our tenants and staff. The tenants of Llys-Y-Capel work closely with Tai Calon to keep the gardens in top shape throughout the year, and the ongoing collaboration is what has allowed the space to flourish. The garden has become a much-loved part of the community, offering a peaceful retreat for everyone who lives there.

This well-deserved recognition reflects the dedication and passion of the Llys-Y-Capel tenants, and we look forward to seeing their garden continue to thrive in the years to come. Congratulations once again to the Llys-Y-Capel community.
