competition winner Eve Casey and Solihull Mayor Mike Robinson

AN ARTY pupil from Marston Green Junior School has helped design a flowerbed in one of the borough's most popular parks.
Sharron Irwin, aged ten, is one of two students whose designs have been turned into an attractive floral display in Malvern Park.
Each year, Solihull Council organises a competition to find the most creative ideas for the bed.
This year there were more than 100 entries from around the borough, with pupils sketching out their ideas inspired by the theme of Food for Life.
Designs by Sharron and Chapel Fields pupil Eve Casey, also aged ten, were the stand-out entries.
The girls were recently invited to meet the Mayor of Solihull, Coun Mike Robinson, and be among the first people to see the designs in person.
