SCHOOLCHILDREN are competing to see who can create the best garden in a wheelbarrow.
Youngsters from St Christopher’s CofE Primary School in Cowley are among those taking part in the Wheel to Oxford Castle contest.
The castle has teamed up with the Oxford Garden Centre, on the A34 at South Hinksey, to see who can create the best ‘garden on wheels’ using a wheelbarrow, donated by the garden centre.
The children will be wheeling their entries along to the castle’s Flower and Gardening Festival on June 11 and 12. The winning school will get a trip to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford, for up to 20 children.
Oxford Castle manager Jean-Pierre Morilleau said: “This is a lovely way for children to learn about gardening, and to discover that you can create a garden out of almost anything.”
