In this age of instant gratification and short attention spans, its a
surprise that gardening is enjoying a renaissance among the young.
.
A survey by the Royal Horticultural Society found that 89 per cent of 16-
to 24-year-olds say they have a garden or grow plants. And looking around,
its easy to find evidence for this new breed of youngster that digs
digging.
.
The most recent series of the BBCs Big Allotment Challenge featured its
youngest ever contestant, a 21-year-old graduate with a hipster haircut
and regulation NHS specs. Matt Kaczmarczyk, from Northolt, north-west
London, explained that hed been obsessed with growing his own vegetables
since the age of 9 after rescuing a tomato plant from his neighbours
dustbin.
.
Jamie Oliver also knows the benefit of getting children into the
green-fingered habit and is spearheading a new campaign to ensure every
child is taught how to grow their own food.
.
The twenty somethings who scuttle about on allotments or in mum and dads
urban garden, are turning to Twitter and YouTube before reaching for their
trowel. British teenager Jack Shilleys YouTube video entitled planting
raspberries in containers has been viewed more than 20,000 times.
.
So what has persuaded the PlayStation generation of the joys of growing
peonies and parsley?
.
Jamie Butterworth is 20 and grew up in Wakefield, west Yorkshire. He
dresses sharply, talks with pride and affection about his hobby, and was a
finalist in the BBCs Young Gardener of the Year. If the new movement needs
a poster boy, Jamie is your man.
.
He recalls the precise moment he fell in love with the idea of a day
outdoors in the company of some seeds, a spade and the smell of damp soil.
.
I distinctly remember at about 9 sowing my first packet of seeds. It was
only cornflowers. But the excitement I felt when I saw them grow and
flower I couldnt get over the fact that something that beautiful had come
from a packet of seeds that cost 20p from Asda. That, to me, was amazing.
And it still is.
