Following a highly successful Stewart Garden Schools campaign this year, Pippa Greenwood has officially launched the scheme for 2013. The aim of the campaign is to get children across the UK growing their own fruit and vegetables.
Leading industry partners are showing their support for the Stewart Garden Schools campaign 2014. Worldwide electronics and manufacturing company, Brother, will supply the schools with GL100 Garden Label printers for the second year running. New to supporting the campaign is the Professional Grower's Choice specialist, Sinclair, who will be supplying compost. Pippa will be donating her own branded seeds.
Stewart Garden Schools campaign 2014 will see the top 10 schools receive prizemoney. The winning school will receive £1,000 to be spent at their local garden centre and the nine runners up will each receive £400.
Commenting on the widespread enthusiasm for the second year of the campaign, Richard Butler, CEO at Stewart Garden said, “We’re delighted that Stewart Garden Schools has proved so popular. Clearly, grow your own has captured the imagination of young minds across the country”.
Stewart Garden will be providing each school with a kit with a wide range of Stewart Garden products: propagators, seed trays, plant pots, troughs and watering cans will make up the Stewart Garden Schools Growing Kit. Promotional materials for participating schools have also been produced, including an informative booklet produced by Pippa Greenwood.
In June 2014 Stewart Garden judges will visit schools and create a shortlist of the top five. These five schools will receive a visit from the judges in June 2014. Pippa Greenwood will join the judging team to nominate the winner.
Stewart Garden Schools is open to school pupils aged 6-11 years.
If you would like to inspire young people and give your local school the opportunity to win £1,000 please nominate yourself or a school near you. You can register them by contacting: Emma De Maio on 07921 160 134 or email emma@redheadpr.co.uk
