Don’t forget to enter our pumpkin growing challenge

Earlier this year we set youngsters and schools the challenge to grow the biggest pumpkin in Somerset.

We gave away free packets of seeds and we hope lots of children have been busy growing their pumpkins ready for submitting for judging.

People can bring their decorated or undecorated pumpkins in on Saturday, October 31 and leave them in our seasonal plant house, where they will then be displayed and judged.

The top prize for the child with the largest pumpkin will be a £25 garden centre voucher.

They will also win a £50 voucher for their school. The winners will be notified on the day via email or telephone and invited back for a presentation and photographs. All pumpkins can be collected from the garden centre from 12noon on the day.

Children must have their parents’ permission to enter the competition and the winners will be expected to take part in photographs and publicity.
