Students got green fingered creating beautifully themed gardens for a green project.

The Rumworth School event in Bolton saw students get down and dirty, digging up the soil to present their winning patches with jungle themes, heaps of colour and music to enhance their designs.

The Rumworth Garden Project featured a rainbow garden with rainbow umbrellas, a coloured archway red flowers while another garden followed a wildlife theme, complete with an animal bath, mini hut and hay bales.

All the entries had sashes of gold, silver or bronze as the school explained everyone had done a fantastic job and were winners in some way.

Head teacher Gary Johnson said: “The students have worked fantastically hard, they’ve shown 100 per cent commitment to this project and I’m just blown away with the enthusiasm.

“This is the result of such fantastic creativity and hard work by the students of Rumworth School.”

Guests including Cllr’s Anne Galloway and Andy Morgan as they strolled through the gardens, struggling to decide which one they liked best.

Cllr Galloway said: “The gardens designed by the different year groups at Rumworth showed such creativity and thought with their concept and choice of materials and plants.

“A real feast for all the senses. They were a real credit to the children, to Gary Johnson, the head, and to the whole team at Rumworth. Well done.”

The project was aimed to get the young students to think about the environment while creating an inviting space with various themes and colours.

Students from all year groups took part in the challenge as Mr Johnson said he couldn’t possibly name his favourite.

Mr Johnson initially came up with the idea to encourage students to give more thought to greenery, something which the whole school is proud of.

Even in the school halls, the walls are adorned with nature art and garden ornaments made by students.

He said: “I can’t pick a single one I like more because they’re all so creative.

“I started this idea, but the students have taken control and transformed the space.

“They have been working in their lunch hours to do most of it, working in teams as they got stuck in.

“The plan is to start again once the next year starts.”
