Fagley Primary Presented with RHS Silver Gilt Award

Caleb and Luke on the 1940s Miracle-Gro Stand at Chelsea
Our school has been presented with a prestigious RHS Silver Gilt Award in recognition of our contribution to supplying plants for the Miracle-Gro 1940s garden at the Chelsea
Flower Show this year.

Caleb and Luke with John Clowes 
Fagley Primary School was one of 60 schools across England selected to provide plants including
broad beans and forget-me-nots for the show. They were also one of 44 schools invited to send
students to the Chelsea Flower Show to work on the Miracle-Gro stand greeting visitors and sharing
Courtney and Martine on the 1913 Miracle-Gro Stand
their experiences of gardening at school.

The four Miracle-Gro gardens charting key gardening trends since the inception of the Chelsea
Flower Show, attracted huge attention from visitors around the world and caught the eye of the
Miracle-Gro'wers
show judges receiving a Silver Gilt Award for each of the gardens.

Today, the Miracle-Gro gardens designer, John Clowes and Marketing Manager, Jane
Fagley Miracle Gro'wers receiving their RHS Silver Gilt Award
Hartley, travelled to Fagley Primary School to present us with our very own Silver Gilt Award in recognition of our growing efforts.

The staff and children are understandably very proud of their achievement and are already excitedly planning what to grow for next year’s show!
