Southport Flower Show 16-18th August 2001
The School Gardens

The Schools' Garden Competition, run under the patronage of Professor David Bellamy, is an ever popular feature at the Southport Show, and this year, the 3 winners have incorporated the Fine Art theme into their designs. Drawn up by Year 5 or Year 6 pupils from schools throughout the north-west of England, these gardens have been inspired by a famous floarl or garden painting of the pupils' choice.

After selecting the winning entries, the judges pass on the plans to a qualified landscaper, who constructs the three gardens on 6m x 6m plots on the show site, alongside the gardens designed by experienced and professional contractors. The schools are awarded a prize of £500 to spend on art materials or computer software, while the individual designers win £50 of vouchers plus a book to keep for themselves.

This year, the three winning entries came from.... Amy Phillips of Lordsgate Township CE Primary School in Burscough Emily Beachcroft of Thomas Street Primary School in Wigan Rachel Moore of St Catherine of Siena Primary School in Lowton
