School Gardens & Planters

RHS Flower Show Tatton Park 2023

What's it all about?

We are inviting children and young people to get stuck in with designing, growing and planting a garden or a planter at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show which runs from Wednesday 19 July to Sunday 23 July 2023. The theme for this year is "biodiversity" - we are looking for entries to encourage or celebrate this theme by including UK wildlife-friendly elements. In showcasing the children's creations at the show, we hope to instill a sense of pride and achievement within them, knowing they're inspiring and teaching others about what they have learned and created.
