Hi, my name’s George and I absolutely love gardening and wildlife. I mainly garden at home helping my Dad, but I also help out at local community gardens. In 2014, when I was 8 (I’m now 12) I won the RHS Young School Gardener of the Year. Here I am receiving my award from Frances Tophill at RHS Garden Wisley.
It was a fantastic year. I met The Queen, went on The One Show and gave out an award at RHS Chelsea Flower Show .
In October 2015 I was announced as the first ever RHS Young Ambassador; my job is to inspire other children to share my passion for gardening and the natural world. Since then I have spoken at the Houses of Parliament about young people in horticulture, made several appearances on CBBC’s Blue Peter and Newsround, been a junior journalist at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower for First News and more recently watched the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show build, which was filmed for Gardeners’ World.
If you share my passion for gardening and wildlife, please get in touch. I’m always looking for guest bloggers too, especially from kids like me.
