A special needs school's kitchen garden has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Dubbed "the Living Larder", the garden – comprising a mix of vegetables and flowers – has been created by students from Scunthorpe's Trent View College.
It received a gold award at RHS's flower show, which is being held at Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire. Head teacher Sarah Parker said gardening helped young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to develop employability skills.
Students spent months growing plants from seed to create the display, which was transported to the flower show. According to a description on the RHS website, key features of the garden are "white flowers, purple vegetables and green foliage".
The charity said this resulted in a "striking visual impact through a carefully considered interplay of colour, texture, and structure".
