sunflower street . . .

Seven gardens, which make up Sunflower Street, were opened in 2005 by former student Kim Wilde. Students who qualified in Garden Design at the college over the last three years were invited to enter a competition to demonstrate their expertise and design these new gardens. Seven winners were chosen and their designs have been realised. They are sure to
inspire everyone.
