Together We Grow: A Wheelbarrow of Shared Memories

Badock’s Wood E-ACT Academy

A tribute to the bonds between Badock’s Wood E-ACT Academy and the residents of the local care home, this display is planted with flowers that represent the colours, voices and stories of two generations coming together.

Our Forest Playground

Bream Gardening Society

A special place where glade and woodland meet, the forest margin brims with life in this design by the Bream Young Gardeners. Native trees and wildflowers thrive among cycle paths, a zip wire and a meandering stream.

A Little Garden, A Big Brentry Story

Brentry Primary School

Various species of blue flowers echo Brentry Primary School’s uniform, the blue sky and the River Avon that flows through the city. Look out for a suspension bridge and even some hot air balloons.

Nature is Mighty

Emersons Green Primary School

Emersons Green kids pay homage to the area’s past – once farmland, later heavily mined for coal before being urbanised in the 1990s – through a design centred on dark foliage and brightly coloured, wildlife friendly flowers.

The Green Loop

Get Up and Grow St Michael’s Primary School Growing Club

St Michael’s has made a mini version of the local green travel network, celebrating woodlands, parks, paths and other shared spaces that can be reached via sustainable travel options.

Learning & Growing Together

Sherston Primary School

Filled with colourful and pollinator-friendly flowers, this wheelbarrow is set within a Cotswold stone-edged keyhole garden full of vegetables that support wildlife, reflecting the school’s love of nature.

Malmesbury: Ancient Hilltop Town, England’s Oldest Borough

Malmesbury C of E Primary School

This tiered installation filled with aromatic herbs and edible flowers alludes to the simple lives of monks. Highlighting Malmesbury’s history, the iconic abbey sits at the top and water troughs recall the
River Avon.

Celebration of All Things Loved

Wansdyke Primary School

All the things Wansdyke pupils love are on show in this mini garden. The wheelbarrow is embellished with names of loved ones, while creative spaces – such as a robin’s nest – invite local wildlife.

Marksbury’s Bin Growing

Marksbury Primary School

A repurposed bin inside a barrow is filled with bold native planting to attract pollinators. Colourful invertebrates made from recycled plastic decorate the beautiful installation.

Our Farming Heritage

Malmesbury Secondary School

The school’s gardening club has created an agricultural wheelbarrow inspired by their rural location. Repurposed wellington boots stock wildflowers and ley crops.

The Trinity Pollinator Barrow

Trinity CE VC Primary School

Atop this sensory barrow, the school logo is recreated in flowers, wrapped in hessian and adorned with symbols
associated with the curriculum.

Ingredients for Sail

The Quay, All Things SEN, Sharpness Docks

A wide range of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers fill a small boat converted into a wheelbarrow. Climbers form
a sail, while blue lavender and pansies represent the water.

Luckington Farm Barrow

Luckington Community School

This celebratory barrow is dedicated to the farms around Luckington Community School. Dwarf sunflowers planted in milk churns, scarecrows from reused materials and locally grown barley represent a strong connection to the land.
