During March our Schools Competition was to find three signs of spring, tell us what they were, as well as your favourite thing about spring.
We had a great vegetable growing starter kit to give away to one lucky school which included
- 5 Polypot Grow Bags
- 10 Seed Potatoes
- A Selection of Garlic Bulbs
- 2 Rhubarb Kits (2 patio planter bags, 1 Rhubarb Crown Timperely Early, 1 Rhubarb Crown Raspberry Red)
- 2 bags of vegetable compost to start you off.
There were lots of entries but the winning school was St. John’s Catholic Junior School at Bebington, many congratulations to them and we hope that their vegetables grow superbly.
