Summer Application 2010

The London Children’s Flower Society has been organising gardening competitions for 65 years.  Our summer gardening competition allows children to grow the flowers, herbs and vegetables from seed.  The children have the opportunity to follow the natural process of germination, growth and production of flower or vegetable crop.  All the children taking part will receive a certificate regardless of whether they grow the plants in individual pots or collectively in the school garden or playground garden, be they in tubs, pots or window boxes.  School gardens will be judged separately provided you so indicate on the Entry Form.

Judging will take place in late June and early July when one of our volunteers will visit your school to award certificates and stickers to the children. 

Planting instructions can be found on the seed packets plus we will include a general instruction leaflet with your order.  

Our seed prices are extremely good value and our individual packets are still 40p each, the same price as they were in 2004!  We look forward to receiving your application before the 26^th March 2010 deadline.

Competition Deadline Extended

Due to Postal Disruption, we will continue to take Spring Bulb orders up until the end of October 2009

Spring Application & Guidelines

The London Children’s Flower Society has been running flower growing competitions for more than 60 years and with the current trend for gardening we are ideally placed to encourage school children to “have a go” and grow something.  We aim to match the needs of the schools and enhance the requirements of the national curriculum.  Here is a reminder of what we offer:

·  Bulbs at very competitive prices and with free delivery

·  Free self adhesive name labels with every pot bought

·  Free set of educational posters

·  No entry fee for the competition

·  Our judges will visit on a date convenient to you and award every child a merit certificate

·  Schools can win trophies and prizes, including garden tools sets, gardening vouchers, books and educational visits to public gardens.

THE FINAL CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES WILL BE FRIDAY 16^TH OCTOBER 2009.

            NOTE: Bulbs and pots will be dispatched direct from our suppliers.  Planting instructions, posters and name labels will be sent with the order confirmation from this office.  The orders will be dealt with promptly and both ourselves and our bulb supplier will aim to avoid half term dates for delivery.
