Excerpt:
A FOURTEEN-year-old from Stroud has been named the National Allotment Society’s new youth ambassador after winning a UK-wide competition for young growers.
Finn Young was selected following a competition which invited people aged between 10 and 17 to share their allotment experiences and explain how growing fruit, vegetables and flowers had helped them develop skills and confidence.
The initiative, sponsored by King’s Seeds, attracted entries in both video and written formats. Judges said the entries showed the role allotments can play in encouraging patience, teamwork, resilience, creativity and a long-term interest in gardening.
Finn impressed judges with an entry which demonstrated his enthusiasm for growing and understanding of the seasons.
Since taking on an allotment, he has grown fruit and vegetables from seed, raising seedlings on windowsills before planting them outside and harvesting the crops.
Finn said he entered the competition after seeing it in the Allotment and Leisure Gardener magazine shortly before the deadline.
