Pegasus Gardeners take part in BBC Gardener’s Live

Pegasus School students took part in BBC Gardener’s World Live at the NEC this year, within the #HealthForLife schools barrow competition run by the conservation volunteers charity Tcv Birmingham!

Our garden was based on Ghana as the theme was the Commonwealth and we grew Jollof in our wheelbarrow.

We took our wheelbarrow down at the start of the week during construction of the gardens and they revisited when it opened.

Ash Class coped so well in the heat and the busy, sensory-heavy environment.

They even spotted Monty Don!
