In the balconies and walls and windows category, there is another repeat offender, also subscribed to even years: Gabrielle Delafosse. On the day of the visit, she was moving from rue des Rocmousses to the Golf residence. “After 25 years of participating in the competition, I hope to continue. This year was the 80e but it was also my 80th birthday”, smiled the winner.
“For the garden category, the results were close”
A favorite price, 80e birthday, was attributed to Patricia Simon. “The theme of the 80e with the three colors: blue, white, red was not easy, but you rose to the challenge”, applauded Hervé Le Gendre, deputy mayor and member of the jury. “The choice was not easy and for the garden category, the results were close,” said James Rivière, president of the Horticultural Society of Pays Saint-Lois.
