Meldrum Academy's pocket garden wins special commendation

Meldrum Academy s pocket garden won a special commendation from the judges. Children, from as young as three, were challenged to design a colourful and sustainable garden that could feature at the Scottish Gardens Show at Scone Palace in late May. Sadly, the show was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. However, the entrants grew and built their gardens to be showcased online. Meldrum Academy submission – Harry’s Haven – features a pond in a bucket, space for insects, and bird feeders. The judges commented: “This is an excellent achievement. The idea of a pond in a bucket is really well done and the garden has a soft, natural feel with plastic containers cleverly disguised. The plants are well chosen and there is a bit of room for them to grow too.
