Junior school children (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) are being invited to get creative and submit their winning designs for this year’s Southport Flower Show Design-a-Garden Competition.
The annual Southport Flower Show is always a kid friendly event, with children under 16 admitted free with a paying adult.
This year’s Show takes place from Thursday 18th August to Sunday 21st August 2022.
Youngsters can take part in this year’s Schools Design-a-Garden Competition, supported by HSBC, which has just been launched.
It marks a welcome return for the popular contest, which has not been able to take place over the past two years because of the impact of the Covid pandemic.
A Southport Flower Show spokesperson said: “We are inviting all junior school children (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) to get creative and submit a design. The winning design will be built and showcased at this year’s show, 18th – 21st August, 2022.
“For more information and entry forms, please Click here for an entry form.
“We are looking for an exciting garden design to be built and showcased in our hugely popular Show Gardens area of the Show.
“We are encouraging entries from individual children, rather than class entries.
“The paper designs are judged by a team of gardening specialists and horticulturists. One winning design will be selected.
“The competition winner, their family and their teachers will be invited as our special guests to the Show for the presentation.
“We will also be donating £200 gardening vouchers to the winning school to enhance their school ground and setting.”
