She always has a big smile when engaged in activities which enable plants and animals to flourish.

Judges' comments

“Louisa clearly loves working in the community which is amazing to see from someone of such a young age.”
 
“At just 5 years old Louisa is already very talented and is definitely one to watch!”
 
“Louisa was an absolute delight to watch. She is only 5 years old but she is already showing great design skills and enterprise through selling her leafmould. She is full of joy, singing away as she works, and I have no doubt she will continue to grow from strength to strength.”
