Competitions 2020

Grow Your Own Grub ‘Mealbarrow' competition

Following the success of last year’s competition, the format of the Grow Your Own Grub ‘Mealbarrow’ competition will remain the same.

  • Students need to design a 3-course menu (you don’t need to cook the menu)
  • Grow at least 5 ingredients in the Mealbarrow (the crops don’t need to be ready to harvest when judged)
  • Present the Mealbarrow at our showcase event which this year is at Abbey Pumping Station 

There is a training twilight session on Thursday 12 March 2020 4.00-5.30pm

Pumpkin Garden competition

Our brand-new Pumpkin Garden competition will encourage students to grow pumpkins in the school grounds.  There will be bonus points for how you use the squash and pumpkins as well as how you deal with the waste e.g. by composting.

For further information check out the flyers and information sheet in the attachments at the bottom of the page.

The deadline to enter both competitions is Friday 28 February 2020.
