Schools "Grub in a Tub" |
|
|
|
For the 2007 Show we organised a Schools competition which was kindly sponsored by the Newbury Building Society. We anticipate doing something similar for 2009. The 2007 competition was an Edible
Container competition, the theme for which was called 'Grub in
a Tub';
the finished container could be anything in which the plants
could grow
successfully (ie, have free drainage etc). The filled container had to be
freestanding and reasonably portable in order that it could be moved to the
showground site without use of machinery (such as a fork-lift) therefore a stone
trough might not be appropriate! Innovative, homemade or recycled
containers would be looked upon very favourably, maximum height and width of
container to be 80cm x 80cm. The plants might include salad
leaves, vegetables, fruit, edible flowers or herbs; the show being early in the
season, beans tomatoes etc could be included, even if not at maximum fruiting point. The standard of entries was high, and the winners were: 1st John Rankin
Junior School Our congratulations and thanks go to all who took part.
