On Thursday 20th November 2025 The Rhos Community Garden received a commendation from the Wrexham Civic Society in the Landscape and Environment Improvement Category at an awards ceremony held in St Giles Church.
Over the last 12 months a piece of redundant land at the old Ysgol y Wern School playing field was turned into a community garden, creating a vibrant open space which is accessible for all within the community. The garden is more than just about growing food, as it connects and educates people about sustainability and nature.
Cllr David A Bithell Lead Member for Carbon Reduction said: “This garden wouldn’t have been possible without all the support received from all local Councilors, Council Officers and community organisations Groundwork North Wales, Incredible Edible, Woodworks CIC, Rhos Community Council. “Local volunteers have also worked tirelessly from the project inception and up to the point we are now “A big llongyfarchiadau and diolch yn fawr to all involved.”
The Rhos Community Garden has received £30,396.81 from UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund, as well as other funding sources.
