The Royal Horticultural Society recently pronounced that ‘gardening is the new clubbing’ – with as many as 90 per cent of 16-24 involved in growing in either an allotment, garden, balcony or windowsill. While this claim seems a little overheated there is no doubt that increasing numbers of young people are interested in gardening these days with the Rich brothers, Harry and David, both in their 20s, winning Chelsea Gold this year. 
Ah, the youth of today!
