GROW A RAINBOW COMPETITION 
The 2011 Schools & Youth competition will be
'Grow a Rainbow' competition,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. We are pleased to invite all Schools/ Youth Groups in Berkshire, Hampshire & surrounding Counties to enter the Flowering Container Competition at the West Woodhay House Garden Show to be held from June 4th. 2011 in the secret gardens of West Woodhay House, near Newbury, Berkshire, the home of Mr. & Mrs. Harry Henderson. The theme for the Flowering Container competition will be GROW A RAINBOW and the finished container can be anything in which the plants can grow successfully (i.e. have free drainage etc). The filled container must be freestanding and reasonably portable in order that it can be moved to the showground site without the use of machinery (such as a fork-lift) therefore a stone trough might not be appropriate! Innovative, homemade or recycled containers will be looked upon very favourably. An accompanying board (max size 80 x 100cm) showing work by the children (e.g. Paintings of rainbows, or diagrams showing how a rainbow is made, rainbow poems etc.) may also be part of the display, but this is not essential.
