The Chiswick Horticultural & Allotments Society (CHAS) has awarded its 2019 Centenary Plate Competition, its gardening competition amongst Chiswick schools.
The First Prize winner of the Centenary Plate Competition is Belmont Primary School, with a very diverse, productive and informative growing area created from scratch. They were
presented with The CHAS Centenary Plate, a massive, 100-year old decorative brass plate, to display in their school for a year.
The Highly Commended Award for the runner up goes to Grove Park Primary School for yet
further successful experimentation with crops and observations. The Runner’s Up (silver rose) Bowl is awarded to Strand on the Green Infant and Nursery School for reviving the pond area and transforming a drab area into a delightful wild flower meadow.
A Highly Commended Certificate is awarded to Toddletown Nursery for wonderful
inquisitiveness about the basics of horticulture and wild life both on their own intensely
cultivated plot and on the allotments beyond.
The Centenary Plate Competition is open to all schools in Chiswick and The CHAS provides
support to the schools by contributing free seeds, bulbs, compost and active, hands-on
advice and assistance to those that request it.
Any school interested in participating in the 2020 competition should contact John Gill:

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
