HORTICULTURE students who have teamed up with Wadworth brewery for this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show met the brewery’s shire horses Max and Monty, who visited Sparsholt College to deliver barrels to be featured in their garden.

The students, including Jordan Lee from Salisbury, are designing a garden called ‘the hop cycle’, telling the historic story of the hop.

Jordan is pictured helping to unload the barrels, first from left.

The garden will include an iconic pub sign, specifically designed by one of the students, recreated by the talented Wadworth Sign Shop Team, one of the only in-house sign writing studios left in the UK. The team hand paint all of Wadworth’s pub signs and enjoyed the challenge of interpreting the student’s design.

The team follows a long line of medal winning Sparsholt students who have exhibited at the show achieving six Gold, three Silver-gilt, four Silver and three Bronze medals since 1998.
