SUPPORTED learning horticulture students at Pershore College had something to smile about last week.
Their show garden, entered in the RHS Malvern School Garden Challenge, won the award for best use of colour and was highly commended by the judges.
The theme for 2026 was Myths and Legends and their entry ‘mythical plants and where to find them’, used plants with a mythical appearance and curious name, highlighting magic stories from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Lecturer Ian Wilson said: “I am very proud of all their hard work and watching their creativity blossom as the project progressed.
“The theme certainly helped to spark their imagination.”

The students, supported by lecturers, started planning the garden in October and spent two weeks on-site during the build.
