‘If bees starve we starve’ by Petersfield School
An amazing artwork compound of oversized bees, bee-friendly planting in hexagonal beds and elements which raise awareness about the effects of pesticides on bees and humanity. A wake-up call to the school and the wider community for questioning the values of our consumer society and confronting the situation that pollinators are facing.

‘Pollinator Promise’ by Saint Alban’s Church of England
Multiple ideas blended together to create a great concept piece. With their catchy slogan “Metre by metre let people know, metre by metre let pollinators grow!” They want to encourage true promises from their community to grow the right plants and realise that pollinators are an essential part of our environment.
