Upchurch Best Kept Garden 2015 - Update

All gardens in the Parish that can be viewed from the front of your home will judged on or about Saturday 18th July.

• secondly a garden which is mixture of flowers, trees and or shrubs,

and
• Finally for those with only a small or no front garden the judges will assess any hanging baskets or flower troughs.
• The Overall Winner will look after the Barbara Webb Memorial Rose Bowl for one year.

Prizes for the above will be presented at the Upchurch Horticultural Society Show during early September in the Village Hall.

This year the prizes are sponsored by the Upchurch Parish Council and Helena Sait of Radiance.

Helena is an Image and Colour consultant and is offering a Gift Experience Certificate for a Full 1-1 Colour Analysis at her company Radiance by Helena as a prize this year (Value £85.00).

How Did Upchurch Celebrate The Queen's Coronation?

Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh in
their coronation portrait, 1953.

This will help the children understand how to use photos, artefacts and real life recounts to learn about the past. It will also help them link local history with a significant event in British history.

Please send in any photos or recounts etc to the school office or you can Email them
