Young Horticulturist of the Year contest launched

Young horticulturists are being encouraged to enter the 2019 Young Horticulturist of the Year Competition launched last week by the Chartered Institute of Horticulture.

 

Any horticulturists under the age of 30 on 31 July 2019 are entitled to sign up. Eight regional organisers will hold the first round of heats will be held at various locations or via a Skype call. The top eight competitors go through to a regional final.  Prizes and prize money are awarded at both stages. The grand final will be at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on 11 May 11.

 

Martin Staniforth, training manager at the school of horticulture, learning and operations at Kew, said: “The Young Horticulturist of the Year is a fantastic competition allowing the future generation of horticulturists to demonstrate the extent of their study and prowess of knowledge enhancing the profession’s reputation. For many youngsters the taking part will increase their networks and experience as well as giving valuable exposure to their talent and the possibility of prizes and publicity along the journey.”
