Enter our Cress Head Film Competition, and win a wonderful flip camera!

As our cress heads were so popular in our Gold Medal-winning Edible Playgrounds at last year’s RHS Flower Shows, we’ve turned them into little animated films with help from our neighbours at Thomas Hardye School and Cerne Abbas Primary School.
