Young Green Thumbs Shine in National School Gardening Competition

Green thumbs and bright minds were on full display as the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise announced the winners of the 2025 National Agriculture and Trade Show School Garden Competition. With thirty schools from across the country digging in, literally, the competition showcased creativity, teamwork, and a strong commitment to sustainable agriculture. In the primary school category, top honors went to San Victor R.C. School in Corozal, followed by San Antonio Government School, Sandy Creek Academy, Chan Chen Government School, and Bullet Tree Seventh Day Adventist School. Over in the high school division, the Belize High School of Agriculture took first place, with Belmopan Comprehensive and New Hope High School rounding out the top three. The top two winners in each category will be officially recognized at the National Agriculture and Trade Show’s opening ceremony on May thirtieth. The ministry extended heartfelt thanks to students, teachers, parents, judges, and extension officers for making this year’s competition a blooming success—and they’re already planting the seeds for an even bigger event in 2026.
