Gardening is my passion
I am a keen young gardener aged 15. I have already designed gardens for friends and family as well as contributing to the look of the garden where I live.
I volunteer at Hughenden manor, a national trust garden, one day a week where I am gaining pre- apprenticeship knowledge before applying for a national trust apprenticeship.
Earlier this year I entered a competition to design the Olympic Garden. My design, based on the Tudor rose, was one of 6 garden designs selected for the public vote and although I did not win, I have retained my enthusiasm and, while being mentored by Kati Crome (2x silver gilt winner at Chelsea) I am submitting a garden for consideration for the Hampton court place flower show 2010.
What is Hampton Court Palace flower show
Hampton Court palace flower show takes place annually during the first full week in July, and is held in the grounds of Hampton Court palace with the spectacular house and lake as the backdrop. Easily the biggest flower show in the world, the event attracts 163,000 visitors each year- 6,000 more people than those who visit Chelsea flower show.
Hampton Court is a key date for gardeners, designers and suppliers all over the world for getting inspiration, setting design trends and selling and advertising products.
