Green-fingered youngsters
Schoolchildren, including six-year-old Hope Williams, of Carlton Miniott Community Primary School, near Thirsk, are rolling their sleeves up and getting their hands dirty for a Yorkshire Agricultural Society competition.
The society, organisers of the annual Great Yorkshire Show, is holding its Children’s Vegetable Garden Competition for the third year running to get young people growing their own healthy produce and to have a better understanding of where their food comes from.
Pupils plant seeds and young plants in their vegetable boxes, tend their crops, and keep a diary detailing what they are growing.
The best 15 vegetable boxes will be showcased at the Great Yorkshire Show, which runs in Harrogate from July 10 to July 12.
