A gold-medal winning garden could be on its way to the Chelsea Flower Show.
Designed by Sarah Brunning, an inclusive learning lecturer at Suffolk New College’s Suffolk Rural campus, the garden was created with students using a recycled skip and took home top honours at the Suffolk Show.
Ms Brunning said: "Judges told us that we had won a gold award and I’m over the moon.
"The learners were chuffed.
"I guess next up could be Chelsea – that would be cool.
"And we would love to come back to Trinity Park next year and try again."
The win was part of a broader showcase of the college’s talent.
Farm staff earned rosettes in livestock classes, floristry students picked up design awards, and student chefs delivered cookery demonstrations in the food tent.
Mark James, a learning support practitioner who contributed to the project, said: "I’m retiring next week, so what a way to go out."
Lynsey Wilson, Director of Animal & Equine and Suffolk Centre for Culinary Arts at Suffolk New College, said: "What an incredible two award winning two days for all of us."
