Planting Day in the Park

For several years this event has proved to be a fantastic opportunity for primary school pupils to develop teamwork skills, creativity, and a passion for nature. Every year a relevant theme or topic is picked and schools across Banbury are given the task of designing constructing centrepieces for placement in the centre of their designated flowerbed. Pupils then converge on the Rose Garden in People’s Park for a day of planting and fun.

At the end of the event, awards for Best Planted Bed and Best Centrepiece are handed out, and the flower arrangements are opened to the public for town residents to enjoy.
