THE WINNERS
WILDLIFE FRIENDLY GARDENER
Roxy Fitzsimmons, Bristol
“It all started when I was kid, my parents would get me to help with the garden weeding, encourage me to spend time outdoors and be at one with nature. What first felt like a chore turned into an absolute passion"
Plant to Plate Gardener
Jenny Winnard, Wigan
"My real passion started in March 2021 when a local allotment space opened up. I’m a creative person and this allotment has given us a brilliant opportunity to enjoy something new as a family"
Creative Indoor Gardener
Phillip Stewart, Magherafelt
“I’ve always been intrigued by the way houseplants can completely transform an interior space. I’ve got a dark, navy statement wall at home and the bright greenery helps balance the contrast out”
Little Eco Gardener
Theodore Rumbold, West Sussex
“Theodore is always looking to spend time outside. He’s part of both the gardening and forest clubs at school, he loves to cycle and spends all of his spare time on the hunt for fossils and rocks”
