Horticulture Week magazine is reporting that since lockdown, more than two million people have become avid gardeners.
Taking an interest in plants, grass and growing their own vegetables, has now become the national hobby of householders.
In times when people are seeking new earning opportunities, the best route is to take up professional training at your local college.
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) courses at Shuttleworth College are part-time and practical, but lead to a qualification which will set people up to make the most of their own gardens, allotments, and even to be able to grow a new career as a gardener.
