The Great Vegetable Challenge 8 September 2005

The Great Vegetable Challenge competition is a collaboration between the DfES Growing Schools programme and Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animations Ltd, to coincide with the launch of the fantastic new full length feature film "Wallace and Gromit – Curse of the Were- Rabbit" released in cinemas nationwide on 14th October 2005.

The competition is open to all foundation settings and primary schools in England and aims to discover the best vegetable plots/growing areas in schools throughout the country. To ensure that schools that are already experienced growers do not have an advantage the competition is split into two sections. Section one is for schools that already have an established growing area in their school grounds but would like to expand and improve it. Section two is for schools that are new to the concept of growing their own food in school but would like to take up the challenge.
