Competition time!

The winning designs of our two competitions were on show at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Hampton Court Palace Flower Show!

As part of our Centenary Celebrations we teamed up with the RHS to give our members a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Girls and young women were challenged to create their own designs for the Royal Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The 30 winning units brought their designs to life at the show, to be viewed by 165,000 people.

Recycled Container Competition

Rainbows, Brownies and Guides entered Centenary-inspired designs, planted in reclaimed or recycled containers, with some very creative results! The 24 winning Recycled Containers exemplify what our members love about being part of guiding – from friendships, camping and cooking to being outdoors, including all and of course, gardening! The containers made innovative (and sometimes unexpected!) use of a range of vessels, plants and props.

Visitors to the show voted for their favourite design and the winners received prizes from the RHS.

Below are a select few of some of the winning designs:

Ultimate Adventure Balcony Competition

Sponsored by PKF

Guides and Senior Section members were invited to design balconies on the theme of Girlguiding UK’s Centenary Ultimate Adventures. The balconies were inspired by a wide range of adventures - sailing around the British Isles, trekking to Mount Everest base camp, supporting development projects around Africa and much more. The balcony designs also demonstrated what members love about Girlguiding UK and how they, and half a million others, will be celebrating the guiding Centenary. 

The balconies were judged by the RHS who awarded three Highly Commended, two Commended and one Merit.
