I had to do one like this. Can't find a pic. I did a natural woody garden on a pillow. Did groups of yellows and orange for the sun. I did purples in a river shape. I had little umbellas and tiny welly boots from teddy bears. I made a tornado with cotton wool and white polystyrene balls for the hail stone. I got 2nd.

your first pressie x - Joe Flo For getting a distinction.  Congratulations. Pidge x - Pidge 
I've done a painting for within my 'sustainability' setting. I haven't got a photo on my lap top yet, but it's a face with flames as hair at one side and water waves as hair at the other side. With the statement 'Don't mess with Mother Nature' written in graffitti underneath. I know you wouldn't really create this in flowers but maybe you could draw from this idea. Also what about the arrows that signify reduce reuse recycle? 3 arrows that form a circle? Could you use that?

Ah no, the forces of nature not sustainability, the arrows wouldn't work!
