Children's Garden Design Competition

Enter our Children's Garden Design Competition and see the winning entry come to life at Barnsdale Gardens in 2010! The winner will also get an amazing bird cam for their school plus a free visit to Barnsdale for their teacher and classmates.

Barnsdale Gardens, near Oakham in Rutland, is home to 38 individually designed gardens that were created by the famous Geoff Hamilton for the BBC 's Gardeners' World television programme. Now under the leadership of his son, Nick Hamilton, Barnsdale is taking on a new lease of life with a fresh identity and new website and it is looking for some help from local school children in Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire. We want to create a special 'Children's Garden', designed by children, for children and built by us.

Please complete the information below and we will send you an entry form for each child wishing to take part, plus a teacher's support pack.
