Behind every visionary gardener is a single spark of childhood wonder.
Welcome to The Future of Horticulture, a story series created as part of our Little Gardeners, Big Sunflowers campaign. Here, we celebrate the remarkable people who are keeping Cornwall’s rich horticultural heritage alive while inspiring the next generation to step outside, pick up a trowel, and look at the natural world with curiosity.
From planting apple trees as children to restoring historic estates, engineering sub-tropical sanctuaries, and managing world-famous biomes, these stories prove that when you nurture a child’s imagination today, you grow the environmental stewards of tomorrow.
