Design A Flower Bed At Sewerby Hall And Gardens

Sewerby Hall and Gardens has begun its search for talented children with its annual design a flower bed competition, of which the closing date is Friday, 31 March 2017.

To coincide with one of the house exhibitions and as a reminder of Sewerby Hall and Gardens’ unique location, the theme for the competition is ‘Beside the Seaside’.

Marie Gascoigne, facility manager at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, said:

“This competition has proved very popular with school children in past years and we always get a lot of fantastic entries. This year we are looking for something special to run alongside our house exhibition.”

As in previous years, children from all East Riding of Yorkshire schools will be invited to submit a design which will then be created in the flower bed located in front of the Orangery.

In previous years, this bed has seen designs based on Amy Johnson, the Tour de Yorkshire, the 300th anniversary of Sewerby Hall, the Olympics, the Diamond Jubilee and the 900th anniversary of Bridlington Priory and complements the more formal aspect of the flower beds located elsewhere in the estate.

The 2016 winning entry (pictured) was a joint effort by two pupils from Brandesburton County Primary School, Lee Fletcher and Benjamin Thompson both from Year Group Six.
