SHROPSHIRE GIRL WINS TOP PRIZE
The winner of the RHS Young School Gardener of the Year competition for 2018 is 15-year-old Ellie Micklewright, of Newport Girls’ High School Academy Trust in Shropshire.
Skilled gardener Ellie started her school’s gardening club from scratch, galvanising an eager army of around 40 students and staff to transform the grounds of the school.
As well as researching, planning and designing the garden, Ellie secured funding from local businesses to help create wildlife habitats, a sensory zone and an orchard.
