RAGLAN Garden Centre, part of the Wyevale group announced the winner of its inaugural Garden Centre Makeover competitions, as voted by the local community.

The winner of Raglan’s competition was Raglan VC Primary School, a local school in the centre of Bromley that has been operating for more than 120 years and boasts an outstanding academic record.

The competition was launched in October 2015 with a view to giving something back to the community through transforming a garden space that means something to locals. The competitions ran until mid-December 2015, with visitors to Raglan Wyevale Garden Centre casting votes for their favourite group to win.

As the winning community group, Raglan VC Primary School will receive a beautiful new garden just in time for summer. A team of volunteers from Raglan Wyevale Garden Centre will work with a local landscape designer to transform their green space into a beautiful outdoor haven – to be enjoyed by students and visitors alike.

Lorraine Walters, Garden Centre Manager at Raglan, says: “It’s great to be doing a project that gives something back to the community – on behalf of the community. We look forward to using our expertise to transform Ragland VC Primary School’s garden space into an area that the kids and teachers can feel comfortable in and be proud of.”

Head Teacher of Raglan CiW VC Primary School, Jeremy Piper, said: “We, along with the children, are extremely excited to see what the landscape designer envisions for our garden space and can’t wait to see the plans come to life in time for summer. We’re grateful to the local community for their votes and look forward to making the most of the space once the makeover is complete.”

Raglan Wyevale Garden Centre will announce plans for the design of the garden makeover in the coming month.
