Bloomin Marvellous
An exploratory programme which seeks to encourage people to learn about and explore horticulture, especially children and young people
Bloomin Marvellous is currently focussed on supporting primary school children to learn about and explore horticulture.
10 primary schools are selected to particpate in the project on a bi annual basis.
The project is run in Spring/Summer (floral) and Autumn/Winter (food growing).
Each participating school receives a planter (made entirely from recycled wood), delivered to the school, along with support to purchase plants, equipment and compost.
Primary school children then get creative, decorating the planter and selecting plants and foliage to bring thier planter to life.
The completed planters are put on show in Flat Iron Square.
A celebratory event is organised where judging takes place with winners selected in the following categories:
Most Creative
Best Horticultural Display
People’s Choice Award
Best Use of Theme
Best Use of Colour
During the time the planters are on display, the public will be able to vote for their favourite and their ‘People’s Choice’.
All winning schools receive a voucher from a local business of their choice.
All particpating children recieve recognition for thier particpation.
