Shropshire Festivals has announced the launch of a garden competition for local schools and community groups.

The award-winning events business has partnered with David Wilson Homes and Barratt Homes, who will fund a garden project for one lucky Shropshire school or community space worth up to £1,500.

To enter, download an entry form and submit a garden design for a small or large space. Ideally, the design will celebrate sustainability, a key ethos of Shropshire Festivals, by incorporating eco-friendly features such as recycled materials. Elaborate water features or ponds will not be accepted. Entries are accepted from Shropshire-based schools or community organisations only. Commercial, private, or business spaces  cannot apply.

The closing date for entries is Friday 19 June at 12pm. The top three designs will be displayed at the Shrewsbury Food Festival in the Quarry on 27-28 June, where visitors will vote to decide on the winning design.

Entry forms are available to download from shrewsburyfoodfestival.co.uk.
