Almost 200 schools across the UK, from the Isle of Wight to Stirling, have participated in the Stewart Garden Schools Campaign since 2013. In 2014, Bradley Barton Primary School took first prize with its Wizard of Oz inspired garden.
Looking forward to this year’s campaign, Gavin Wray, channel manager at Stewart Garden said: “The Stewart Garden Schools campaign brings out the creativity in school children. Their ideas and enthusiasm never fail to impress us.”
Last Year's Competition
After Bradley Barton Primary School took first prize in 2014 with its Wizard of Oz inspired garden, the challenge is on to create something special in 2015 as part of the celebration surrounding Stewart Group Holdings 70thAnniversary as a UK manufacturer of gardening products. Based on the popular musical, Barton Primary School’s winning creation featured scarecrows, floral rainbows and woodland made of peas. The pupils also created a wormery to break down old leaves for garden compost.
