We're calling on all local schools to get involved in this year's Best Kept Garden Competition. 

The competition is open to all primary and secondary schools within the Borough and invites schools to showcase their creativity, innovation and gardening skills in creating and maintaining their best gardens.

Submit your school's entry by Monday 3 June 2024.
