Judges' comments

“Dylan was one of the strongest young gardeners in this year’s competition. His knowledge is fantastic, the technical terminology just rolled off his tongue! I loved his lesson on how to make paper pots too. An absolute star.”
 
“Dylan is a confident young gardener and explained what he was doing exceptionally well. I really liked his attitude and maturity when speaking with his peers and working with members of the community. A very strong candidate.”
 
“A totally confident individual and a champion for school gardening. I love his response when people ask why he gardens – “Why don’t you?” A very worthy finalist.”
