For the third year running, The Bransford Webbs Plant Company is supporting the Schools Garden Challenge at RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2024 through the donation of impulse and flowering plants. The organisers took delivery of over £12,000 worth of stock last Friday for the children to use when completing their garden builds.

For 2024, eleven schools are taking part in the challenge to build a 4m x 4m garden based on this year’s theme of ‘The Magic of Music: Choose a song or musical to bring to life in a garden to make your heart sing!’. Encouraging the children to gain valuable hands-on experience with plants and horticulture, they must design and build their garden and also grow a proportion of the plants. As with the main show gardens, they will be judged by the RHS, and awards handed out at a special awards ceremony for the children during the Thursday.

The Bransford Webbs Plant Company relish the opportunity to support the Schools Garden Challenge each year, which inspires local children to become involved in horticulture and gain the amazing experience of being part of a renowned RHS show in their local area.

“Seeing the hard work and creative designs the children produce is so inspiring,” commented David Chilvers, Sales and Marketing Director. “The next generation of gardeners are our future, if we can sow the seeds of horticulture now, who knows which of these youngsters could be the next Adam Frost or Alan Titchmarsh.”
