A primary school teacher who recently discovered garden design picked up a silver gilt medal for her work at the 2025 Suffolk Show.
Laura White, 39, from Long Melford started a course at Suffolk Rural in 2024.
During the programme, all students are asked to submit a design that they would like to create at the Trinity Park.
All of the designs were then put on the Suffolk New College and Suffolk Rural website for people to vote for their favourite – and staff and students picked Laura’s work.
The keen artist got a flair for the creative when she purchased a former pub in Long Melford with her husband five years ago, that had a car park as an outdoor garden space.
And after winning the silver gilt at the show, her desire to succeed continues to blossom.
Laura said: “I’ve learnt so much through the process and I’m proud of the work that I achieved. I was delighted to pick up a silver gilt. This will only inspire me to keep working hard as I follow my passion.”
