'The Blein yn Ellan Ain Garden is a celebration of our Island and an appreciation of what makes the Isle of Man a special place, as seen through the eyes of our Island’s Children. Seventeen primary schools from across our Island have worked to create a garden, based on their interpretation of the environment around them and what makes the Island such a special place to live and go to school in.'
