Malvern Spring Gardening Show – 8th-11th May
With many schools actively creating school gardens the Malvern Spring Gardening Show is a great place to pick up inspiration and practical tips. Featuring hands-on workshops on creating an allotment or vegetable patch, as well as pottery workshops there is lots to see and do. We are also running a number of competitions open to primary and secondary students.
During the show HBG Construction will be working with their Btec construction students to build a Permanent Garden for the disabled. This fascinating project will enable visitors to experience how a show garden is put together.
In support of Malvern in Bloom we will be developing a number of school based projects. For more details on the activity and how to take part please contact our Education Officer.
Three Counties Show – 13th-15th June
With over 20 schools attending last years’ event, the Three Counties Show is rapidly gaining popularity as a great way to reinforce many aspects of the school curriculum. Not only are there a whole host of animals and events to see, there is also a dedicated education area, The Discovery Zone. In 2007 this area featured sessions by Setpoint on making land yachts and boats from recycled items, and workshops with a carbon footprint theme run by the Duckworth Trust and the National Non Food Crops Centre. Eastnor Pottery showed children how to make tractors and combine harvesters in clay and the Environment Agency introduced more than 700 children to the delights of fishing.
