Bradford Schools Flower and Vegetable Show 2012

On Monday, an interesting looking parcel arrived for me at the school office. It was our welcome pack for the Bradford Schools Flower and Vegetable Show. Inside were a selection of Spear & Jackson hand tools, a planting calendar and some vegetable seeds. This is the third time the event has been held and the first time that Fagley Primary will exhibiting.

The show is due to be held on September 7th 2012 at Cottingley Village Primary School and schools from all over Bradford will be attending. We have been invited to take one child from each year group to represent our school. This will be a fantastic opportunity for our Garden Team to meet fellow growers and share our experiences.

The categories we can choose to enter our produce under are:
  • Best basket of vegetables 
  • Best group of potatoes 
  • Best potted plant 
  • Best flower arrangement 
  • longest runner bean 
  • Best garden in a seed tray 
  • Best vegetable in show 
  • Strangest and wackiest vegetable 
  • Best fruit and vegetable collage/picture 
They are also running a competition to design a logo for the annual event.




The Garden Team will meet over the next few weeks to decide which categories we should enter.
