She said: “I have just completed a course in garden design, and I’m hoping that by joining the garden academy and gaining further experience, it will enable me to achieve my dream of being a garden designer.”
As Kate trains for her RHS level 1 award, she will continue to work at her local Homebase store helping customers with their gardening dilemmas.
The academy aims to help raise the profile of gardening as a career when there are concerns over a shortage of young, skilled gardeners in the UK.
