Tatton Park School Gardens Competition

See the stunning school show gardens from this year's RHS Flower Show Tatton Park

Visitors to RHS Flower Show Tatton Park 2016 were transported to a world of music and theatre for the annual School Gardens Competition. 20 schools put on an exceptional display of mini gardens all themed around some of the nation's best-loved musicals.

Characters and songs were brought to life through a rainbow of colourful plants and creative artwork, all created within a 3m x 3m (primary school) or 4m x 4m (secondary schools) plot.

Two winners from each age category were chosen and the winners for 2016 were Eagley Infant School in Bolton for their fantastic interpretation of Shrek's swamp garden and Wilmslow High School in Wilmslow for their stunningly vibrant Aladdin-inspired garden.

The gardens were on display throughout the show (20-24 July) and the competition will return to next year's show. Check our website next year for details on how to enter.
