Glasgow Pupils Design Green Gardens for Taylor Wimpey Show Home

Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 31 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates pupils from Wallacewell Primary School who created mini eco-friendly show home gardens for a prominent housebuilder; understands that Taylor Wimpey West Scotland challenged the P5 children to create nature-friendly features for the new gardens in its Monument Way development in Robroyston, in the hope that it would encourage visitors to use the gardens in environmentally-friendly ways; notes that the housebuilder wanted its show home gardens to be more nature friendly, with the introduction of bug hotels and the planting of pollinator-friendly flowers; understands that children submitted drawings showing what the gardens could look like; notes that the housebuilder's local landscaping expert, and others, judged the designs, but were unable to pick an overall winner due to the design ideas being of such high quality, and that, as such, two winners were selected; understands that designers Bethany and Charlie each saw their design brought to life and won a gardening set packed full of wildflower seeds, a bug hotel, bird feeders, as well as a mini herb garden to grow at home or in school, and believes that all of the P5 children enormously enjoyed the challenge of designing a sustainable show home garden.
