We have partnered with Shrewsbury Food Festival to offer an amazing opportunity for primary schools across Shropshire.
We’d like to invite primary school aged children to design a new garden for their local school or children’s community group. This could be a transformation of a patch of grass or forest school area, new raised beds where you can grow fruit and vegetables, or planters to grow flowers to add a splash of colour to your outdoor areas.
Morris Property are commercial property developers based here in Shropshire with over 100 years’ experience of restoring, managing and transforming property in our region. With a proven track record of school building projects, they have all the knowledge and expertise to help create something truly special for your school.
Not only will this be wonderful for the winning school, but it will also be a lovely project to get kids thinking about nature, learning about growing plants, and helping them to enjoy the outdoors.
All you need to do is ask your pupils to download our form from www.shrewsburyfoodfestival.co.uk/morris-school-garden and get designing!
Each school can then either submit their favourite design or create a group project to decide on the final design. The school or community group need to send a photo of their final design to [email protected] with ‘School Garden Competition’ in the subject line.
Entries must be received by Friday 9th June. The top 3 designs will be displayed in the Field to Fork area at the Shrewsbury Food Festival, where visitors will vote to decide the winning design.
The team at Morris Property will bring the design to life, building the new garden and providing materials and plants for the winning school free of charge. They’d love pupils to lend a hand with the planting too.
