Build a Garden
Team Garden Challenge kindly supported by Enkalon Foundation
Ever wanted to be a garden designer or landscaper? Or just wanted to get your hands dirty in the soil?
Have a go! Create your own garden! … and have a lot of fun!
Get together with members of your community group, club or charity, with work colleagues, a group of friends or family members, students – or anyone who would like to have a go at designing and building a garden!
Teams this year are being asked to create Narnia Gardens inspired by the famous CS Lewis literature. There will be no shortage of inspiration with the famous Belfast author having penned seven tales in the world famous Narnia series.
This is a fun team challenge to build a garden. You can take as long as you like in advance to design and plan your 3m x 3m garden plot. Teams then get together the day before the opening of the Allianz Garden Show Ireland (Thursday 4 May 2017) at Antrim Castle Gardens and have one day to build a garden.
