Myerscough to prepare Show Garden for Southport Flower Show

The prestigious annual event next month will once again see Myerscough College bring to life the winning entry in the annual Schools Design-a-Garden Competition.

The competition is for junior school pupils in years 3, 4, 5 and 6, with a bumper year of entries from across the region.

The aim of the competition was to design an attractive, eco-friendly garden, incorporating the use of plants, colours, recycled matter – and a lot of imagination.

The winning entry comes from Sophia, a pupil from Helmshore Primary in Rossendale.

The winning design, measuring 6m x 6m, will now be built into a ‘real’ garden for the Southport Flower Show by Myerscough College.

The paper designs were judged by a team of garden specialists and horticulturalists and the two winning designs, together with 10 runners-up, selected. The two winning gardens will now be constructed in time for this year’s Southport Flower Show, which runs from 15th -18th August.

The winning designer, their families and their teachers will be invited to the show for the presentation, when the gardens will be on display during the rest of the show and always receive a great deal of attention from the tens of thousands of visitors who attend every year.
