Young Bolton-by-Bowland gardener named one of the best in the country
In July the nursery was featured on BBC Gardeners World when it won our an RHS Gold Award at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show. John Foley, 24, who runs Holden Clough Nursery, said he felt ‘over the moon’ after he was named as a one of four finalists in the BBC Young Gardener of the Year. He said: “The whole experience was a real eye-opener to actually see how many young people are interested in gardening as the initial number of entrants was over 700 across the country. A TALENTED young gardener is to show off his green-fingered skills after being named one of the top in his profession. He runs the Bolton-by-Bowland business with his girlfriend, Kate Lawson, 22, after taking over from his father, Peter Foley, who bought the nursery in 1978.
