Horticultural Show 2023- Classes for School Children.

Classes for Children. See Schedule of Classes in TarvinOnline article on 14th May 2023.

Cress Egg Head   Class 64 (5 – 9 years)

Make sure you take the top of the egg off as near the pointed end as possible, so you have plenty of room to decorate a face on it. Also choose a base to stand it on that doesn't hide a lot of your face. You can paint the shell with emulsion paint, I am sure if you ask your parents there is some in the garage. Get decorating , then put some wet paper towel in the bottom and sow the cress seeds, put it in a warm place to get it growing as soon as possible. See the photograph for ideas.

'Veggiesaurus  Class 69  (5 -9 years), Class 70 (10 – 15 Years)

This can be made out of anything in the kitchen and garden. Collect lots of bits together and cocktail sticks and kebab sticks are good to join items together; parental supervision needed for younger children. Remember to put it on a base so you can lift it up easily. Let your imagination go wild. See the photograph ideas.

Plant or Flower, drawing or painting Class 67 (5- 9 years), Class 68 ( 10 – 15 years)

Find a flower or plant in the garden and get working!

Garden on a dinner plate Class 65 (5- 9 years), Class 66 (10 – 15 years)

Make sure you check with a parent which plate to use. Try and find small leaved plants and flowers and think how you would plan your garden e.g. a path, hedges, trees, a pond, vegetables, flowers, lawn (moss is a good substitute.)

Decorated Digestive Biscuits Class 71 (5- 9 years), Class 72 (10 – 15 years)
