Pocket garden designed by pupils at Windsor Park
Pupils from Windsor Park school are getting ready to show off their garden design in the seventh annual Pocket Garden Design Competition, run by environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful.
The school won a place in the competition with their beautiful pocket garden which tells the story of ‘Freddie and the Fairy’. Voting opened on 8 June when the digital showcase went live featuring all of the winning designs.
The small, magical garden created by the school also incorporates elements to help others learn deaf awareness strategies.
Schools across Scotland developed environmentally friendly designs for a tiny garden telling a story, reflecting the themes of the 2022 Year of Stories, One Planet Picnic and Wildlife Gardening. Windsor Park school was one of 340 entries and in the top 45 to win a place in the digital showcase where the public can vote for the best pocket garden design.
Amanda Walker, Headteacher said:
“Pupils have been very busy creating their garden for real during the spring months and can’t wait for it to feature in the digital showcase. The children worked really hard and have had a lot of fun creating our own small pocket garden in the school grounds while also learning skills in literacy, ICT, expressive arts, science, numeracy and health and wellbeing.”
The winning Pocket Gardens are available to view and vote for in the digital showcase from 8-20 June
