All schools who entered to show their garden as part of the event are receiving a certificate.
Chair of Cumbria in Bloom, Ronnie Auld said: "The judges had amazing amounts of praise for the gardens they visited in the school's category of this year’s Cumbria in Bloom.
“These young people are our future gardeners and we want to encourage them to keep on planting and growing. Gardening is a wonderful hobby and can also be a great career.
“To congratulate all the pupils involved, our judges are returning to make the presentations, where possible in person.”
The announcement of the Cumbria in Bloom award winners will be made at regional award ceremonies across Cumbria next month.
