  “It’s fantastic to see more people
 getting interested and involved in
   horticulture, especially so many
   young faces! Having community
   gardens around help to improve
    community connections can be
   a great way to learn more about
horticulture, or just to make a start.
  Horticulture is an amazing career
     choice, or hobby - there are so
   many likeminded people around
    the local area, so you’re always
    finding someone who is able to
                 give you a few tips.”
