Chance for children to enter spudtacular model competition

CHILDREN from Southport are being invited by a virtual garden centre to enter a potato modelling competition over March, 2016.

PotterandRest.Co.UK are asking youngsters to create a potato model for the chance to win a £25 voucher to spend on the site.

Peter Burks, Horticultural Expert on the site said:- "To celebrate the humble spud we thought it would be a great idea to get children creating their own models out of the vegetable. The potatoes can be modelled into absolutely anything the children wish, whether it's famous faces or animals, the more creative the better! We are then asking them to snap a photo of themselves with their potato model and send it in to us via:- hello@potterandrest.co.uk and we'll share all the entries on our social media pages."

The deadline for entries to be submitted is Friday, 29 April 2016 and after this date we will choose a national winner and five regional winners. The national winner will win a £25 voucher and the regional winners will each receive £10 vouchers.  Peter added:- "It would be great to see models made from potatoes that children have grown in their garden too. We sell a range of seed potatoes, including individual ones, if any youngsters would like to give growing their own a go."

The firm aims to be the largest 'true' garden centre online with free expert advice available to gardeners via telephone and social media backed by a 5 year plant guarantee.

There is an emphasis on British grown plants and products wherever possible and some of the products and plant collections are not currently available in other garden centres in the real or virtual world.

The e-garden centre hopes to appeal to all levels of gardeners from complete novices to keen amateurs and on to expert gardeners.
