This year’s Schools Design-A-Garden creation at Southport Flower Show is truly magical!
This very colourful and playful Alice In Wonderland design features famous characters and items from the children’s classic by Lewis Carroll.
After receiving more than 400 entries from talented pupils across the North West, the winning design was submitted by Molly Goldsmith from Great Sankey Primary School in Warrington.
Molly’s imaginative and inspiring garden design has now been brought to life at this year’s Southport Flower Show (20th-23rd August 2026) at Victoria Park in Southport, where visitors can see Molly’s winning vision transformed into a real garden.
The work has been carried out by the multi award-winning James Comish Landscape and Horticulture and Anthony Major.

Alan Adams, General Manager of Southport Flower Show and Victoria Park Management Company, said:
“A huge thank you to every school that took part.
“The creativity, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness shown in every entry made the judging incredibly difficult, and we were truly inspired by the talent on display across the North West.”
