Val d'Argent. The winners of the flower design competition received their prizes.
The language of flowers was particularly topical on Friday evening, May 2, at the Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines village hall, where a large number of the 120 green fingers of the 2024 edition of the flowered houses competition received, through local elected officials, the president of the Val d'Argent tourist office and members of the jury, flower bowls for the winners and shopping vouchers.
They further highlighted Isabelle Ochs's first departmental prize and the voluntary commitment of the jury and the photographer. It should be noted that, since 2024, to be considered for the awards, a score of 15 or higher has been required.
