Libra School take Silver Gilt at Malvern Spring Show
Well done to the children of Libra School in North Devon who scooped a Silver-Gilt Medal at the Malvern Spring Flower Show in mid May. The Libra School is a small independent school that caters for pupils with special educational needs. The school’s pupils have developed links with the Dr William Connor School’s Special Educational Unit on the Caribbean island of St Kitts.
Their garden, called Diversity, was designed by Gill Lomax and Steve Pearce, and highlights the educational, cultural and horticultural differences between a Devonian garden, similar to the one developed at the school by the children, and the gardens and plants found in the tropical Caribbean.
Everyone at the school was absolutely thrilled, especially the children, many who got to meet Chris Beardshaw and Joe Swift.
