RHS Search for Young Wildlife<br />

Enthusiasts to Create Scarecrows for<br />

RHS Hampton Court Palace Show<br />

Schools needed from across <strong>London</strong> and South East England<br />

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is searching for pre-schools and primary schools<br />

from the South East to take ‘a walk on the wild side’ and design wildlife themed<br />

scarecrows for display at this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, 4-9 July.<br />

The shortlisted schools will be asked to build their scarecrow designs which will be<br />

judged by visitors at the show. To enter, pupils must be in year six or below and must be<br />

registered with the RHS Campaign for School Gardening.<br />

The lucky winners will receive £200 worth of gardening vouchers, with second and third<br />

placed schools receiving £150 and £50 worth of gardening vouchers. The deadline for<br />

entries is 10 March 20<strong>17</strong>.<br />

The schools are challenged to use plants and recycled materials to create their ‘walk on<br />

the wild side’ inspired scarecrows. Children can let their imaginations run wild, taking<br />

inspiration from people, places and animals across the UK. The ‘wildlife’ theme will run<br />

across this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, raising awareness of the<br />

urgent need to support Britain’s declining wildlife.<br />

To enter and to sign up to the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, schools should<br />
