YOUNG gardeners inspired the design of a the North West Community Garden being showcased at this year's Tatton Park Flower Show.

Pupils at Harrop Fold School in Little Hulton put forward their ideas for the plot, designed by Manchester-based award winning garden designer Lee Burkhill.

The school was one of a number of organisations visited by BBC North West Tonight, which has teamed up with the Royal Horticultural Society, to celebrated community gardening and green spaces.

After the show, the plants and materials will be donated to Wharton and Cleggs Lane Church and Community Centre Garden in Little Hulton.

Lee said: “It was important to create an achievable community garden design with key elements drawn from the local community gardening projects whether it's growing food in urban areas, socialising in groups outdoors, learning about horticulture, tending to an orchard, or encouraging wildlife."

"I hope visitors take away inspiration to start growing their own fruit, vegetables or plants in even the smallest spaces, and for new gardeners to get involved in local community gardens while also using upcycled and reclaimed materials in garden spaces to reduce our carbon footprint.”

RHS Flower Show Tatton Park will run from July 21 to 25. Visit www.rhs.org.uk/tatton
