School Pallet Garden Challenge

 

For the thirteenth year, we are running a Pallet Garden Challenge.  As a result of our previous lottery funding in March 2010, we acquired a number of link-a-bord pallets.  The Club donated these to local schools/playgroups.  The pallet is 1m x 1m and the challenge for the school/playgroup is to create a theme of their own choice to be displayed within the pallet.  The Pallets will be judged on site in mid to late June 2024.  Photographs of the pallets will be taken and they will be on display at the Nairn Community & Arts Centre on Show day, when the prizes will be awarded.  Certificates and prizes will be awarded to each pallet entered.IRN & DISTRICT GARDENING CLUB

School Pallet Garden Challenge

 

For the thirteenth year, we are running a Pallet Garden Challenge.  As a result of our previous lottery funding in March 2010, we acquired a number of link-a-bord pallets.  The Club donated these to local schools/playgroups.  The pallet is 1m x 1m and the challenge for the school/playgroup is to create a theme of their own choice to be displayed within the pallet.  The Pallets will be judged on site in mid to late June 2024.  Photographs of the pallets will be taken and they will be on display at the Nairn Community & Arts Centre on Show day, when the prizes will be awarded.  Certificates and prizes will be awarded to each pallet entered.
