GARDENERS’ WORLD BEAUTIFUL BORDER UPDATE!
June 2024 We won a Platinum Award for our Beautiful Border!! And this gorgeous glass bowl for 'Best Interpretation of the Theme' which was 'Share My Space'. We're sooooooo delighted to share this space with you and everyone who came to visit us. We're over the moon that the judges enjoyed looking at it as much as we loved making it.
Gardener’s World Live 2024 Beautiful Borders Competition
We’re really excited to tell you that our design for a Beautiful Border has been accepted for Gardener’s World Live 2024 at the NEC Birmingham this summer!
Come and see our Fee Fi Fo Food border, an edible garden as part of a wider project for Cypress Primary School’s wildlife garden, a local project we’re bringing to life this year.
Cypress Primary School - Growing A Garden
With 5 children between us we’ve spent quite a few years in and out of Cypress Primary School in South Norwood. Last year we begun a long term project to overhaul a disused and overgrown area of the outdoor space to create a practical garden where children can sow seeds, grow vegetables & sit in the shade of a tree surrounded by nature & wildlife.
With the help of pupils, parents, grandparents & the wider community we’ve completed one clearance project, built 3 large pallet compost bins and planted five fruit trees kindly donated by xxx
Next steps involve completing a concept plan, creating a learning space and growing vegetables!
