A garden centre in Swindon is on the hunt for children who love gardening to become its ambassadors.
Dobbies is looking for children aged four to 10 to become its new Little Seedlings Club Ambassadors.
The search coincides with the National Children's Gardening Week, which started on May 25 and will run until June 2.
Those selected will be the faces of Dobbies’ monthly free Little Seedlings Club workshops at the Swindon store, write blogs for the website, and feature in news articles and photographs.
Interested applicants can apply by visiting www.dobbies.com and completing a short form.
Emma Tailford, Horti Manager at Dobbies, said: "We love welcoming our young customers to the Little Seedlings Club workshops every month at our Swindon store and take joy in inspiring the next generation."
The next free club workshop will take place on June 2.
Children will be shown how to grow herbs, and learn the difference between herbs and spices, their smells, medicinal properties, and culinary uses.
The theme for June’s workshop in Swindon was selected by current ambassadors Ayla Tuffaha, eight, and Sophia Tuffaha, six, from Woodbridge because they enjoy trying new foods and experimenting with flavours.
Along with this, the Swindon store plans to offer a free gardening session on rose care, taking place on June 2 at 10.30am.
Nigel Lawton, plant buyer at Dobbies, said: "This month’s Grow How session in Swindon provides a wonderful opportunity for everyone to discover just how easy and rewarding it can be to grow and care for these magnificent flowers.”
