Spear and Jackson has generously offered 20 bundles of garden tools and equipment as prizes in a Countryside Classroom competition for schools. To be in with a chance to win just tell us about your school-gardening plans, and how one of these bundles could help you.
Each bundle comprises:
The tool kits provide enough for half a class to garden together, and the raised bed could be a lovely feature in any setting filled with herbs, salads, edible flowers or plants for pollinators - the choice is yours. The raised bed is in practical, good-looking wood with a finished size of 1250 x 1250 x 300mm, and all the tools are stainless steel. Whether your school has been gardening for years or is just about to start, share your story with us and we'll choose the 20 best to win a prize. You can tell us about your whole school, or a single class or club. We'd like you to keep to about 500 words or less, include at least one image, and let us have your entry by the end of February. Winning entries may be featured by Countryside Classroom and by Spear and Jackson.
