Solihull schoolchildren design ‘Food for Life’ flowerbed in Malvern Park

The winners of Solihull’s annual competition to design a flowerbed in Malvern Park have had seen their drawings bloom into reality.

Sharron Irwin, from Marston Green Primary, and Eve Casey, from Chapel Field’s school, designed the flowerbed to reflect this year’s theme: ‘Food for Life’.

The two girls, both aged 10, were chosen as winners from over 100 entries from schoolchildren across the borough.

Entrants were tasked with creating a design that promoted healthy and sustainable eating and Sharron and Eve’s were the standout entrants.

The two girls were invited to meet the Mayor of Solihull, Cllr Mike Robinson, and be amongst the first to see their designs in person.

They were then invited back to Mayor’s parlour for tea and biscuits.

The Mayor said: “It’s great to see the amazing ideas that Sharron and Eve came up with, they were deserved winners.

“It’s a very important message that we want everyone in Solihull to make sure they eat healthily and these two girls have done an excellent job to promote that.”
