Reaseheath students will compete against teams from five other landbased colleges to create eye catching and sustainable urban gardens that will be seen by thousands of show visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Their challenge is to design and build a small front garden in a traditional or contemporary style which will show homeowners and passers-by what can be achieved in a small city space. The gardens, each on a 5m x 4.5m plot, must provide a sense of tranquillity for the homeowner, use sustainable principles and encourage nature into the urban environment. The students must also inspire the judges and capture the imagination of visitors with their clever planting and design techniques.<\/p>\n<p>The gardens will be judged by a panel of horticultural industry leaders, home and garden magazine editors and acclaimed garden designers and landscapers. The winners will receive gold, silver gilt, silver or bronze medals and the overall winner will receive a \u2018Best in Show\u2019 trophy. Visitors will be encouraged to vote for the People\u2019s Choice Award.<\/p>\n<p>Launching the competition at Ascot Racecourse last week David Domoney, who presents ITV\u2019s \u2018Love your Garden\u2019 and is gardening presenter for \u2018This Morning\u2019 said: \u201cTo date this competition has given more than 600 garden landscaping and design students the opportunity to build gardens at a national event before they even leave the college gates. It\u2019s always a great privilege to see great British talent come together to compete for the title of \u2018Young Gardeners of the Year\u2019, and with this year\u2019s focus on front gardens, I can\u2019t wait to see them come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Sadinsky, Head of Education at The Prince\u2019s Foundation said: \u201cWe are thrilled to have once again helped launch the \u2018Young Gardeners of the Year\u2019 competition with David Domoney and some of the country\u2019s most enthusiastic young gardeners. We are asking participants to provide a particular focus within their gardens on the principles of sustainability, paying attention to issues such as the use of local, natural materials and the implementation of sustainable drainage systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe creativity of past years has shown us that no matter how small the space, we can all incorporate natural environments into our busy urban lives and we are greatly looking forward to seeing what is produced this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alastair Warwick, Chief Operating Officer at Ascot Racecourse, added:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted that the \u2018Young Gardeners of the Year\u2019 Competition is coming to Ascot Racecourse to form part of the inaugural Ascot Spring Garden Show. We already have six professional show gardens confirmed and to have a further six gardens, created by talented college students, amplifies the already impressive line-up that visitors can expect in the show\u2019s first year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupporting young and emerging talent in both sport and horticulture is hugely important to Ascot so we\u2019re excited to be giving these students a platform to showcase their skills and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ascot.co.uk\/gardenshow\"><strong>The Ascot Spring Garden Show takes place Friday 13th \u2013 Sunday 15th April<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reaseheath\u2019s Head of Horticulture Sarah Hopkinson, lecturer Dave Black, landscape architecture undergraduates Nathan Webster and Katie Monton, apprentice Matt Rodgers and Level 2 Diploma student Tabitha Clare pictured at the launch of the \u2018Young Gardeners of the Year\u2019 at Ascot Racecourse.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A student team from Reaseheath College, Nantwich, will contest the \u2018Young Gardeners of the Year\u2019 competition at the new Ascot Spring Garden Show in April.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":71840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
