Nine local primary schools have been crowned winners in Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council's recent harvest-themed competition.

The winners - Ballinderry PS, Cairnshill PS, Creagagh PS, Dromora PS, Knockmore PS, Largymore PS, Meadow Bridge PS, Millennium Integrated and Tonagh PS - will each get an allotment installed at their school, as well as seeds for planting and tools for the children to use when nurturing their crops.

The purpose of the competition was to encourage the next generation of talented growers, broaden the pupils’ understanding of agriculture and promote healthy eating.
