A Renfrewshire pupil’s brilliant pocket garden design reached the national final of a competition run by an environmental charity.

Talented pupils from Houston Primary School have been recognised for their creative Scottish design in the National Pocket Garden Design Competition, run by Keep Scotland Beautiful.

Earlier this year, the school won an award in the P5-S2 category for their garden design — The Scots Garden — which earned them a place in the final public vote.

Their miniature garden was one of a select few showcased in an online exhibition from June 13 to June 25, where the public was invited to vote for their favourite designs.
